Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler, 2/3oz Silver fishing spoon #8446

Genuine silver plating characterizes the finish of this 3 1/4" (8.2 cm) Canadian classic, a hallmark of the manufacturing process that ensures high visibility in various water conditions. Found under product code 8446, the spoon features the signature raised longitudinal ridge that provides structural stability to the metal body during a steady retrieve. At a weight of 2/3 oz (18 g), it offers substantial mass for distance casting or controlled trolling when targeting larger pike and zander. The hardware remains reliable, consisting of a robust treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail, while the nose is equipped with a functional swivel to manage line twist. This particular specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved silver surfaces with only minor evidence of previous outings. Stamped with the maker's mark on the underside, the metal retains its distinct reflective properties without the harshness of standard chrome plating.
