Museum Archive: Vintage ​Acme Flash-King Wobbler, 1/3oz Nickel/blue fishing spoon #17602

Weighing exactly 1/3 oz (10 g), this classic metal spoon presents a vibrant Nickel/blue finish designed to maximize visibility underwater. Measuring 3 3/4" (9.5 cm), the Acme Flash-King Wobbler, product code 17602, is a quintessential example of high-quality USA-made trolling hardware. Its construction utilizes a large surface area relative to its light weight, ensuring it stays active at low speeds while maintaining a steady wobbling action as trolling speed increases. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, with its polished nickel face and blue accented back looking remarkably fresh. Historically, these lures were favored for their versatility across freshwater environments, proving effective for pike in shallow weeds or lake trout holding in deeper summer thermoclines. It functions seamlessly with monofilament, wire, or lead core lines, and is particularly well-suited for use with down-riggers. The clear stamping on the body identifies this as a genuine piece of Acme history, capturing a specific design that has since been retired from production.
