Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Mooselook wobbler, 1/3oz Silver fishing spoon #4074

Polished silver plating catches the light across the entire 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) length of this Canadian-made classic. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the Mooselook wobbler by Williams is a staple for those who frequent deep northern waters, designed with a distinct longitudinal ridge that gives the body its rigid, slender form. This specific specimen, carrying product code 4074, shows off the legendary Williams precious metal plating in 5/5 condition, looking as bright as the day it was manufactured. The elongated baitfish profile tapers into a flared tail where a sharp treble hook is mounted. Primarily a trolling tool, its construction relies on the balance between the stamped metal weight and the water resistance against its curved surfaces. The stamped Mooselook name is visible on the silver face, a mark of quality from a brand that has focused on high-visibility finishes since the early 20th century. A simple split ring at the head serves as the attachment point for a leader.
