Museum Archive: Vintage Acme K.O. Wobbler, 1/8oz Gold / Red fishing spoon #8460

Stamped with the 'K.O. WOBBLER' name on its polished gold-finished reverse, this 1/8 oz (3.5 g) spoon represents a classic piece of American tackle engineering. Measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) in length, the lure features a distinctive Gold and Red pattern that provides a high-contrast profile in the water. A key technical element of this 8460 model is the 'Sonic flipper tail'—a small metal tab attached to the rear split ring alongside the treble hook. This specific component is designed to generate distinct sound profiles as the lure is retrieved. This specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showing a bright, clean surface and original hardware throughout. Produced by Acme in the USA, it utilizes sturdy gold-tone split rings at both the head and the tail for secure line tie and hook attachment.
