Museum Archive: Vintage Acme K.O. Wobbler, 1/2oz fishing spoon #21734

Chrome plating gives the front of this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) spoon a high-visibility reflection under the surface. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), the Acme K.O. Wobbler is a substantial casting lure designed for reaching distance and depth. This specific specimen, bearing product code 21734, features the iconic solid red painted back that provides a stark contrast to the polished silver face. A signature metal tail fin is mounted on the rear split ring, a classic design element from Acme’s USA manufacturing history intended to add a secondary flash alongside the treble hook. The hardware remains sturdy and the chrome is bright, though the red finish shows some honest character with light paint wear along the outer edges, earning it a solid 4/5 condition rating.
