Stamped clearly with the 'FLASH-KING WOBBLER' name along its polished nickel side, this 3 1/4" (8 cm) trolling lure hails from Acme's American production line. The 1/4oz (7 g) weight is distributed across a broad surface area, a design choice intended to keep the piece active during slow-speed presentations or when picking up the pace behind a boat. Featuring a two-tone Nickel/blue finish, the lure offers a reflective metallic face contrasted by a saturated blue upper half. This specific specimen, identified by product code 17992, remains in excellent condition with a rating of 5/5, showing well-preserved paint and bright metalwork. It comes rigged with a single treble hook and split rings, ready for deployment with mono, lead core, or down-rigger setups targeting everything from pike in the weeds to lake trout in deep thermoclines.
