Nickel-finished plating paired with a vibrant neon green UV edge defines this 1/4oz (7g) spoon from the American manufacturer Acme. Measuring 1 1/2" (3.5cm) in length, this K.O. Wobbler UV carries the product code 17173 and is fitted with a "Sonic flipper tail"—a distinct metal tab that provides a unique mechanical element near the hook set. The contrast between the high-polish nickel and the luminescent green paint creates a strong visual profile, especially when the UV properties are activated in low-light environments. This particular specimen is unused, maintaining a 5/5 condition with no wear on the factory finish or the original treble hook. The teardrop profile is stamped precisely, a hallmark of the USA-based production that collectors look for in vintage metal lures.
