Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this classic casting spoon features the distinctive 'K.O. WOBBLER' stamp on its clean nickel reverse side. The front of the lure showcases a bright nickel finish complemented by a vibrant red vertical stripe along one edge, a color combination favored for visibility in varying light conditions. This specific Acme specimen, identified by product code 9079, measures 1 1/2" (3.5 cm) and maintains an excellent 5/5 condition with a clear, reflective surface. It is equipped with a 'Sonic flipper tail'—a small metal fin attached to the rear split ring alongside the treble hook—which works in conjunction with side-to-side jerks to create a specific sonic signature during the retrieve. Manufactured in the USA, the lure's hardware consists of sturdy split rings and a silver-toned treble hook that remains in top-tier shape.
