Collection: Acme Lures

Acme Tackle Company has been producing high-quality fishing lures in the USA since 1952 — and their spoons and spinners remain some of the most effective lures for trout, kokanee, and salmon in Colorado's rivers, reservoirs, and mountain lakes. Built with premium components and time-tested designs, Acme lures deliver the flash, vibration, and action that trigger strikes from predatory fish in a wide range of conditions.

Popular Acme Lures for Colorado Fishing

  • Kastmaster — Acme's flagship spoon. The heavy, aerodynamic body casts a mile and sinks fast, making it ideal for reaching fish holding deep in reservoirs like Ruedi and Rifle Gap. The erratic, fluttering action on the fall is deadly for kokanee and rainbow trout. Available in a wide range of sizes and finishes including gold, silver, and rainbow trout patterns.
  • Little Cleo — A classic wobbling spoon with a distinctive hammered finish that produces maximum flash. Excellent for trout in rivers and streams at slow to medium retrieves. The wobbling action closely mimics a wounded baitfish.
  • Phoebe — A slender, lightweight spoon that excels in smaller streams and at slower retrieves. Ideal for targeting selective trout in clear, low-flow conditions on the Roaring Fork and its tributaries.

Choosing the Right Size & Color

Smaller sizes (1/12 to 1/4 oz) work best in rivers and streams for trout. Heavier sizes (1/4 to 3/4 oz) are ideal for reservoir fishing, long casts, and reaching depth. Gold and copper finishes excel in off-color or low-light water; silver and chrome shine in clear, bright conditions.
