Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), the W50 series remains a staple for anglers targeting predatory species like northern pike or walleye. A striking combination of 24-carat gold and silver plating covers the body, complemented by a vibrant red edge that reacts to UV light for increased visibility in stained water. The distinct stabilizing ridge running down the center is the hallmark of the Wabler design, engineered to maintain balance during both slow and fast retrieves. Measuring 2 3/4" (6.7cm) in length, the spoon features the classic Williams stamp on its rear, confirming the use of genuine precious metal plating which provides a unique reflective quality. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 1730, remains unused in its original packaging. The hardware includes a stout black treble hook attached via a heavy-duty split ring, a testament to the Canadian manufacturing standards that have defined the brand for nearly a century.
