Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Flash-King Wobbler, 1/4oz fishing spoon #20004

Dipped in a vibrant orange paint on one half and polished to a mirror-like silver on the other, this specimen of the Acme Flash-King Wobbler represents a staple of American-made trolling tackle. At 1/4oz (7g), the lure’s lightweight profile is paired with a generous 3 1/4" (8cm) body length, a combination that allows the large surface area to remain active even at slower speeds. Stamped clearly with the brand name on the metallic side, this piece carries product code 20004 and is preserved in 5/5 condition, showing a very clean and bright finish throughout. Originally designed for versatile freshwater applications, it is built to handle mono, wire, or lead core lines, making it equally effective for pike in the shallows or lake trout deep in the summer thermoclines. The construction features a tapered tail design that transitions into a sturdy treble hook secured by a split ring. This USA-manufactured wobbler is intended to maintain its steady wobbling motion as trolling speeds are increased, providing a consistent presence in the water column.
