Museum Archive: Vintage Acme K.O. Wobbler , 1/4oz Nickel / Orange fishing spoon #14176

Polished nickel finishes like the one found on this 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) spoon were designed to maximize flash in varied light conditions. Bearing the stamped K.O. WOBBLER name on the reverse, this Acme lure is a classic piece of American tackle engineering produced in the USA. The 1/4oz (7g) weight gives it substantial density for its size, making it a reliable choice for distance casting toward shorelines or structure. On the face, a vibrant orange stripe is painted along the outer curve, providing a sharp visual contrast against the high-gloss nickel plating. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a bright treble hook, and the entire piece remains in excellent condition (5/5). This specific specimen, listed under product code 14176, showcases the precise metalwork characteristic of mid-century metal spoons.
