Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler W20, 3/32oz Gold fishing spoon #3180

A distinctive raised central rib runs the length of this 1 1/4" (3cm) gold-finished spoon, a technical feature designed to provide stability during both fast and slow retrieves. Weighing in at 3/32oz (2.5g), this Canadian-made Williams Wabler W20 carries the classic manufacturer stamp clearly visible near the line tie. This specific specimen, identified by product code 3180, shows a bright, reflective surface consistent with a 5/5 condition rating. Originally engineered for targeting species like pike and walleye, the design relies on its unique geometry rather than sheer mass. The hardware includes a clean silver-toned treble hook secured by a split ring at the tail, with an additional split ring and swivel assembly at the head to manage line twist.
