Silver, yellow, and green paint accents the textured scale pattern on the front of this 1/4 oz (7 g) Canadian-made spoon. A genuine silver plating coats the entire brass body, including the hammered-finish reverse side, which is a signature feature of the Williams brand. The structural center of the 2 1/4" (5.7 cm) lure is defined by a raised longitudinal ridge that provides stability during the retrieve. Cataloged as Product Code 18692, this specimen is fitted with a sharp treble hook and a barrel swivel at the line tie. The condition is 5/5, showing no evidence of wear on the painted stripes or the plated metal. Heritage for the Wabler design dates back to 1914, though this specific piece hails from the post-1978 period when Williams moved all operations to Canada to serve pike and walleye anglers.
