Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler W50, 1/2oz silver fishing spoon #18200

Silver plating covers the entire surface of this Canadian spoon, ensuring a high-reflectivity finish that remains effective in deep or stained water. At 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length and 1/2 oz (14 g) in weight, the Williams Wabler W50 incorporates a prominent stabilizing rib along its center. This design choice prevents the spoon from spinning uncontrollably, allowing for consistent performance across a range of retrieval speeds when targeting pike or walleye. Labeled with product code 18200, this particular lure is in 5/5 condition, showing the bright finish of an exceptionally well-maintained piece. The hardware includes a sharp treble hook and a functional swivel, both securely attached via heavy-duty split rings. Stamped lettering on the tail end confirms its heritage and the patented design that made Williams a household name among northern anglers.
