Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Flash-King Wobbler, 1/3oz Copper fishing spoon #17162

Copper finishes on these vintage trolling spoons provide a warm, distinct flash that stays visible even in stained water. Tipping the scales at 1/3oz (10g), this specific Acme Flash-King Wobbler (Product Code 17162) measures 3 3/4" (9.5cm) and features the classic manufacturer's stamp clearly visible on the body. This USA-made spoon was engineered with a large surface area relative to its weight, intended to maintain a wild, wobbling movement at slow trolling speeds. The hardware remains in excellent shape, featuring a single treble hook attached by a sturdy split ring at the flared tail end. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the metal surface is smooth and bright. It was designed to be fished effectively with monofilament, wire, or lead core lines, and performs well when used with down-riggers for deeper targets like lake trout or in shallow weed beds for pike. A clean line-tie hole at the tapered nose ensures a direct connection for consistent performance during long trolling runs.
