Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Wob-L-Rite, 1/8oz Nickel fishing spoon #16232

Stamped clearly into the smooth reverse side, the WOB-L-RITE name identifies this 1" (2.5 cm) casting spoon as a classic piece of American fishing history. Weighing in at a nimble 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this Acme-manufactured specimen features a traditional hammered nickel finish on its convex face to maximize light reflection. The lure, cataloged under product code 16232, is rigged with a sharp treble hook and split rings at both ends for secure line attachment and hook articulation. Produced in the USA, the metal surfaces are bright and free of oxidation, reflecting a 5/5 condition. These smaller spoons were traditionally favored by light-tackle anglers for trout and panfish applications where a compact profile is necessary.
