Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler, 1oz Gold fishing spoon #0726

Weighing in at 1oz (28g), this heavy-duty Canadian spoon features a distinctive honey-comb scale texture across its brilliant gold surface. This 4" (10cm) Williams Wabler, cataloged under product code 0726, is centered by the brand's iconic longitudinal ridge designed to maintain stability across various retrieval speeds. Williams is historically noted for utilizing precious metal plating in their manufacturing process, and this specimen carries a high-luster gold finish specifically chosen for visibility when targeting large pike or walleye. The hardware consists of a sharp, bronzed treble hook and a reliable split ring assembly, both showing the high quality expected from Canadian craftsmanship. With a condition rating of 5/5, the metal shows no signs of use and retains its original factory shine. The stabilizing rib is a functional hallmark of the Wabler series, ensuring the lure remains tracking correctly whether cast from the bank or pulled behind a boat during a slow troll.
