Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Lake Clear Wabbler, 3/16oz brass fishing spoon #19600

Measuring 2" (5cm) with a weight of 3/16oz (5g), this brass trolling spoon features the distinctive willow-leaf profile of the Lake Clear Wabbler. The metal surface is in fantastic shape, rated 5/5, showing the solid brass construction that Williams is known for maintaining. On the concave interior, the "PAT APPLD. FOR LAKE CLEAR WABBLER" stamp remains crisp, linking this specific item back to the design's origins in 1920 when a guide in upstate New York first crafted the lure from a car headlight. Heavy-duty split rings are fitted to both the head and tail, allowing for easy rigging with a leader of 12 to 18 inches (0.3 to 0.45 m) when targeting deep-dwelling trout. Under product code 19600, this specimen represents a century of angling tradition where simple, high-quality materials are used to reach the strike zone.
