Museum Archive: Acme K.O. Wobbler, 1/4oz nickel/orange fishing spoon #18728

Glinting with a polished gold finish, the signature 'Sonic flipper tail' identifies this 1/4oz (7g) Acme K.O. Wobbler as a specialized tool for targeting steelhead. Although cataloged under product code 18728 with a nickel/orange designation, this specific specimen presents a brilliant gold surface and measures 1 1/2" (3.5cm) in length. The lure is in unused condition, featuring its original factory hardware including a sharp treble hook and the secondary metal tail piece. This flipper is designed to create a specific sonic profile and added visual flash while the spoon maintains a side-to-side motion during the retrieve. The heavy-gauge metal body is engineered for significant distance when casting into deeper currents or across wide lakes. As seen on the vintage backing card, which bears personal handwritten notes like 'Steel Head Fall,' this model has been a historical favorite for seasonal river runs.
