Stamped with the bold "FLASH FISH" identifier on its smooth reverse side, this Acme classic showcases the intricate scale patterns and gill details typical of mid-century American metal lures. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm) and weighing 3/32oz (3g), this Gold specimen is a lightweight choice frequently utilized for casting in smaller streams or ponds. The lure, identified by product code 8489, features a distinct fish-shaped profile complete with a lifelike eye and dorsal fin silhouette. Its plating retains a high level of brilliance across both sides, reflecting its well-preserved 5/5 condition. A vintage bronze-finished treble hook is securely attached via a split ring at the tail end. Manufactured in the USA, this piece highlights the simple yet effective metalwork that established Acme as a staple in the tackle boxes of serious anglers.
