Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Flash-King Wobbler, 1/4oz nickel/orange fishing spoon #18744

Weighing exactly 1/4 oz (7 g), this Acme Flash-King Wobbler features a high-visibility nickel and orange finish that offers a sharp contrast in the water. The nickel-plated side is cleanly stamped with the Flash-King name and weight, showing the quality craftsmanship expected from a USA-made lure. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), the thin metal body has a distinct curve seen in the profile, which allows it to remain active at slow trolling speeds while maintaining stability as speed increases. This specimen, identified by product code 18744, is in 5/5 condition and appears ready for the tackle box or the display case. It is particularly well-suited for trolling applications using mono, wire, or lead core lines, making it a versatile choice for pike in the shallows or lake trout near deep thermoclines. The hardware consists of a robust treble hook attached via a split ring to the flared tail section, providing a secure connection for freshwater gamefish.
