Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Flash-King Wobbler, 3/16oz Bronze (Brass) fishing spoon #8658

Stamped clearly into the 2 1/2" (6.5cm) metal body are the words "FLASH-KING WOBBLER" and "ACME," identifying this as a classic piece of American tackle history. Weighing in at 3/16oz (5g), this Acme Flash-King Wobbler, product code 8658, was engineered as a versatile trolling lure for freshwater gamefish. The Bronze (Brass) finish has developed a rich, dark character over the years, highlighting the unique fish-tail shape of the spoon. Its design features a large surface area relative to its weight, which helps it maintain its wild, wobbling action at slow speeds whether fished on mono, wire, or lead core lines. This specific item shows authentic signs of age on the metal and hardware, giving it a 3/5 condition rating. A single treble hook is securely attached at the tail, intended for everything from pike in weed beds to deep-water lake trout. This USA-made model is no longer in production, representing a specific era in the Acme catalog.
