Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Mooselook wobbler, 1oz Nickel fishing spoon #4946

Nickel-finished surfaces catch the light across the slender 5" (13cm) body of this Canadian-made classic. Tipping the scales at 1oz (28g), the heavy-gauge construction indicates a spoon designed for reaching deeper water columns while trolling or casting for lake trout and landlocked salmon. The front side features the iconic "MOOSELOOK WOBBLER" stamp, along with the weight designation, pressed clearly into the metal near the nose. A hallmark of this specific geometry is the flared, twin-fin tail section which creates a distinct profile compared to traditional teardrop spoons. Regarding its condition, the reflective plating remains bright and serves as a testament to the quality of the finish, earning a rating of 4/5. The hardware is comprised of a stout treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail, matched by a similar ring at the eyelet for secure line attachment. Identified by product code 4946, this specimen shows minor surface wear where the nickel has thinned slightly near the mid-section, revealing the base metal underneath.
