Museum Archive: Vintage Atlantic Lures Northern Wobbler, 3/16oz Nickel fishing spoon #4153

Nickel plating covers the 2 1/2" (6.5cm) body of this classic trolling spoon, which is prominently stamped with the Northern Wobbler name. Produced by Atlantic Lures Inc. in the USA, this specimen carries the product code 4153 and weighs in at 3/16oz (4.5g). The bright finish shows some light surface spotting consistent with its 4/5 condition rating, giving it the look of a well-maintained piece of tackle. A sharp treble hook is rigged to the flared tail section using a split ring, while the nose is drilled with a clean line tie hole. Interestingly, while the official weight is 3/16oz (4.5g), the convex side of the lure is engraved with '1/6 OUNCE' alongside the manufacturer’s branding. This streamlined metal lure is specifically built for trolling applications where a slender profile is desired.
