C.V. "Charlie" Clark, a songwriter and music publisher based in New York City, founded Seneca Tackle Co. in 1951.[1][4] Acme Tackle stopped printing the illustration on Little Cleo that year to allay the retailer's concerns and maintain them as a buyer.[1][7] He called it "a great all-around spoon" that is "a deadly secret for deep-dwelling brook trout in early summer".Its hump-back shape makes it wiggle through the water like a fat bait fish—a meal big fish just can't resist."[9] Rich Giessuebel said in the book Great Fishing in Lake Ontario & Tributaries that the Little Cleo was among the "most popular" lures in the region, writing, "As for the Little Cleos, you will see them fished where anglers have a large concentration of salmon swimming around in a pocket of water in a non-snatching section (such as beneath the power plant in the Oswego River).
