Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Flash-King Wobbler, 3/16oz copper fishing spoon #20358

Stamped directly into the polished copper metal, the name "FLASH-KING WOBBLER" and the weight classification mark the face of this 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) spoon. This piece, identified by product code 20358, shows a 5/5 condition and bears the mark of its American manufacturing heritage from Acme. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (5 g), the lure is engineered with a wide surface area to maintain a consistent wobbling action during slow-speed trolling. Anglers historically utilized this profile for pike in shallow weed beds or for targeting lake trout in deeper thermoclines using down-riggers or lead core lines. The copper finish provides a distinct flash that differs from traditional silver or gold plating, often performing better in specific water clarities. The fish-shaped tail tapers toward a single, sturdy treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring.
