Quick take
A classic casting spoon with distinctive hump-backed shape that wiggles enticingly through the water.
The Little Cleo is a hump-backed casting spoon that wobbles with a wide, erratic wiggle as it is retrieved, imitating a fat, confused baitfish. This 3/4-ounce version runs about 2.5 inches long in a Rainbow/Blue/Pink finish. It is an easy lure for anglers who want a simple cast-and-retrieve spoon in the tackle box.
