Measuring 2 1/4" (5.7cm) in length, this Canadian-made classic features the signature stabilizing ridge that has defined the Williams Wabler since the early 20th century. The polished gold finish on this 1/4oz (7g) specimen reflects a manufacturing tradition that moved entirely to Canada in 1978, although the design itself was first produced in 1914. That distinctive longitudinal rib is stamped directly into the spoon to provide a steady path through the water during both fast and slow retrieves, making it a reliable choice for pike and walleye. The hardware consists of a sharp treble hook and a built-in swivel, designed to reduce line twist during casting or trolling. This specific item, identified by product code 3397, maintains a very clean appearance with a condition rating of 4/5, preserving the bright metallic surface and structural integrity that collectors look for in vintage Williams tackle.
