Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler W50, 1/2oz gold fishing spoon #18222

Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, this Canadian-made classic showcases the signature textured finish that defines the Williams aesthetic. Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), the Wabler W50, identified by Product Code 18222, features a distinct longitudinal ridge designed to provide stability during both slow and fast retrieves. Finished in a brilliant gold plating, the metal surface remains remarkably clean, earning a condition rating of 5/5. This specimen highlights the manufacturing heritage of Williams, where the stamped body is plated with precious metal to enhance its reflective properties. The spoon comes rigged with a robust treble hook and a high-quality swivel at the line tie, primarily intended for targeting pike or walleye. Light reflects across the dimpled surface at multiple angles, creating a consistent flash.
