Museum Archive: Vintage Acme K.O. Wobbler UV, 1/4oz Gold / Orange fishing spoon #5758

Polished gold plating covers the face of this American-made spoon, providing high-visibility flash even in stained water. The Acme K.O. Wobbler UV, identified by Product Code 5758, is a compact casting lure weighing 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 1 1/2" (3.5 cm). A distinctive feature of this particular model is the small metal "Sonic flipper tail" attached to the rear split ring, which is designed to provide side-to-side movement during the retrieve. While the front is gold, the reverse side features a vibrant fluorescent orange finish that reacts intensely under ultraviolet light, as demonstrated in the specialized UV photography. The specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with the plated surface maintaining a clean reflection and the hardware showing no signs of age. This USA-manufactured piece utilizes a sturdy treble hook and heavy-duty split rings to ensure durability when targeting various predatory species.
