Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler W50, 1/2oz silver fishing spoon #18567

Stamped clearly on the concave side with its Canadian origin, this 1/2oz (14g) silver spoon features the iconic raised longitudinal ridge that has defined the series for decades. Identified as the Williams Wabler W50 with Product Code 18567, this 2 1/2" (6.5cm) lure remains in 5/5 condition, retaining the bright flash of its authentic silver plating. The stabilizing rib is a functional hallmark, engineered to maintain stability during both fast and slow retrievals, a technical detail essential for targeting pike and walleye. Williams utilizes genuine silver because of its unique light-reflecting properties at various depths. The hardware consists of a sharp treble hook and a front-mounted swivel, reflecting the traditional construction anglers have relied on since the brand's early days in Canada.
