Little Cleo

  • ... that the Little Cleo fishing spoon lure used to feature a scantily dressed exotic dancer but it was removed after an influential retailer complained? Source: Merwin, John (2003-04-16). "Classic Lures: Put 764 years of successful angling in your tackle box". Field & Stream. Archived from the original on 2021-12-19. Retrieved 2021-12-18.

    The article notes: "1) Little Cleo. She was a hootchie-kootchie girl who for 43 years had her dancer’s image stamped on the back of a fishing lure. A New York City songwriter named Charlie Clark saw Little Cleo perform during the 1930s; when he developed this popular spoon with its wiggling, dancing action in 1953, she became its namesake. In 1996 a female employee of a major retailer took offense at the dancer’s image on the lure, and for the sake of newfound political correctness, the image was removed by Acme Tackle of Rhode Island, the current manufacturer."
