Museum Archive: Acme K.O. Wobbler, 1/2oz Red / White fishing spoon #0516

Red / White enamel coats the convex face of this classic casting spoon, a high-visibility pattern long-favored by anglers for targeting northern pike and salmon. At 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) long and weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this Acme K.O. Wobbler, product code 0516, features a distinct "Sonic flipper tail" metal fin designed to create sound as it moves through the water. Stamped on the polished silver underside are the model and manufacturer names, confirming its USA-made heritage. The hardware is comprised of a sturdy treble hook and split rings that remain in pristine shape. This specimen is unused, showing no wear on the paint or the polished metal reverse side.
