Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler, 2/3oz Silver (Silver Plated) fishing spoon #3597

Heavy silver plating characterizes this 3 1/4" (8 cm) specimen, a finish that has defined the Canadian brand's reputation for decades. The prominent longitudinal ridge, or stabilizing rib, is a technical detail designed to maintain balance during both high and low retrieval speeds. Weighing in at 2/3 oz (18 g), this Williams Wabler carries the classic elongated oval shape intended for targeting northern pike and walleye. The hardware includes a sturdy split ring at the rear holding a treble hook, while the nose is equipped with a vintage swivel assembly to manage line twist. Rated at 4/5, the silver-plated surface shows gentle signs of age while remaining clean and highly reflective. Collectors will recognize the specific proportions and build quality associated with product code 3597.
