A vibrant yellow and green gradient covers the face of this 1/4oz (7g) spoon, which features the iconic raised rib designed to provide stability during various retrieval speeds. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.7cm), this Williams Wabler W40, Product Code 18736, carries a silver-plated foundation meant to maintain high visibility for pike and zander. The contrasting nickel finish on the reverse side is a hallmark of the brand's traditional plating process. This particular Canadian-made specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing very light surface marks while maintaining excellent color saturation. Originally developed in the early 1900s, this version represents the high-quality craftsmanship established after the manufacturer moved production entirely to Canada in 1978. It comes equipped with a front swivel and a treble hook, ready for casting or trolling.
