Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Lake Clear Wabbler, 1/3oz brass fishing spoon #22699

Brass tones cover the leaf-shaped surface of this 1/3 oz (9 g) spoon, which belongs to a lineage started in 1920. Carrying product code 22699, the Williams Lake Clear Wabbler measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) and represents a classic Canadian trolling tool for lake trout, brookies, and rainbows. The metal body features a distinct central ridge stamped with 'PAT APPLIED FOR LAKE CLEAR WABBLER.' The brass has transitioned into a darker, multi-colored finish while maintaining a smooth surface. It is equipped with sturdy split rings at both ends, allowing for the attachment of a swivel and a trailing leader. Rated at 4/5, the lure is well-preserved and shows a clean, authentic appearance. The wide geometry reflects its origin as a repurposed car headlight, a construction style maintained by the manufacturer to ensure high quality.
