A bright, solid orange finish coats one side of this 1 1/2" (3.5cm) spoon, contrasting sharply with the polished nickel on the reverse. This Acme K.O. Wobbler, identified by product code 20886, is a classic American-made casting lure weighing exactly 1/4oz (7g). The construction features a unique "Sonic flipper tail"—a small, V-shaped metal blade attached to the rear split ring. This additional hardware is designed to create specific sounds and secondary displacement during the retrieve to mimic a swimming baitfish. The hardware remains robust, including a bronze-finished treble hook and durable split rings at both the nose and tail. In its 5/5 condition, the nickel plating maintains a mirror-like sheen while the orange application shows full coverage. Originating from the USA, the lure reflects the high-quality plating and paint finishes for which Acme became a tackle box staple.
