Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (11 g), this vintage trolling spoon features a warm, reflective copper finish that remains a staple for freshwater gamefish. The elongated profile spans 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) and terminates in a distinctive fishtail shape near the rear split ring. Identified by product code 13641, this Acme Flash-King Wobbler was manufactured in the USA and has since been discontinued, making it a notable find for collectors. The body is stamped with the manufacturer's mark and its weight class, showing a well-preserved surface consistent with a condition rating of 4/5. Its construction utilizes a large surface area relative to its weight, allowing it to be fished effectively behind down-riggers or with lead core and wire lines. Anglers often deployed this model when targeting pike in shallow vegetation or seeking lake trout in deeper summer thermoclines. The hardware consists of a single dark-finished treble hook mounted at the base of the lure's tapered tail.
