Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Flash-King Wobbler, 1/3oz copper fishing spoon #19858

Copper finishes like the one on this 1/3 oz (10 g) spoon are legendary for their ability to draw strikes in stained or clear water alike. Measuring 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) in length, the Acme Flash-King Wobbler was engineered in the USA for versatility, performing well whether rigged with monofilament, wire, or down-riggers. The thin metal profile and wide surface area allow the lure to maintain a wild wobbling action across a range of speeds. Noted with product code 19858, the specimen displays its model name clearly stamped into the metal on the front side. Its condition is rated a solid 4/5, showing the careful preservation of its hardware and copper surface. This design was specifically favored for reaching lake trout in deep summer thermoclines or pulling pike out of shallow weed beds. The lure is finished with a large treble hook secured by a split ring at the flared tail.
