Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler W50, 1/2oz Silver (Silver Plated) fishing spoon #2088

Heavy silver plating provides a brilliant, reflective surface on this 1/2 oz (14 g) spoon, a hallmark of the Williams manufacturing process. Measuring 2 3/4" (6.7 cm) in length, the Williams Wabler W50 (Product Code: 2088) features the iconic raised longitudinal rib that has been a staple of their design for decades. This specific specimen arrives in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, clean surface that captures light exactly as intended. Stamped clearly on the genuine silver-plated body are the "WILLIAMS WABLER" and "MADE IN CANADA" marks, confirming its pedigree. The hardware is equally well-maintained, sporting a sharp, black-finished treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring. Anglers targeting pike and walleye often rely on this W50 model for its stability during various retrieval speeds, whether casting or trolling. The oval body shape and central keel are designed to maintain balance in the water column without spinning out. Every detail on this silver-plated lure reflects the high standards of the Sherbrooke, Quebec-based company.
