Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Flash-King Wobble, 1/4oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #7514

Stamped clearly into the reflective nickel surface, the "FLASH-KING" name marks this classic American-made trolling spoon from Acme. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) and weighing a light 1/4 oz (7 g), this specimen (product code 7514) features a sleek, elongated profile with a flared tail designed to maximize surface area. The finish is a traditional Nickel / Blue, where a vibrant blue stripe accents one half of the body, providing a sharp contrast against the polished metal. This specific lure is in a 5/5 condition, retaining a brilliant mirror-like shine on both sides, though minor, soft wear is visible along the painted edges of the blue section. It comes equipped with a sturdy treble hook attached via a stainless split ring at the tail and a pre-drilled line tie at the nose. Built for versatility, it is intended for use with monofilament, wire, or lead core lines, often utilized for targeting pike in shallow weeds or lake trout in deeper summer thermoclines. According to original specifications, it maintains a wild, wobbling action across various trolling speeds.
