Museum Archive: Vintage Acme Wob-L-Rite W100, 1/4oz copper fishing spoon #18959

Stamped clearly into the metal on the reverse side, the "WOB-L-RITE" mark identifies this 1/4oz (7g) Acme spoon as a foundational tool for light-tackle anglers. The 1 1/2" (3.5cm) body is finished in a warm copper, a color specifically chosen for its visibility in both clear and stained water. This particular specimen, tracked under product code 18959, is equipped with a gold-tone treble hook attached via a strong split ring, a testament to the durable American manufacturing typical of Acme lures. The exterior remains in impressive condition, showing only a few minor surface marks from its time in a tackle box, earning it a 4.5/5 rating. Its teardrop profile is designed for both casting from the bank or slow trolling behind a boat, where the weight-forward design helps maintain depth during retrieval.
