Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler W55 Lite, 1/4oz Brass fishing spoon #3092

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), the slender profile of this brass-finished spoon represents the light-tackle side of the iconic Williams lineup. Coming out of Canada, this 2 3/4" (6.7 cm) Wabler W55 Lite is a thinner-gauge variant of the standard model, specifically thinned down to excel in trolling applications. The hallmark of this design is the stamped longitudinal rib running down the center, a structural element engineered to maintain stability through the water column. This specific specimen, identified by product code 3092, displays a lustrous brass finish that reflects light effectively for pike and walleye. The hardware consists of a sturdy, sharp treble hook secured by a heavy-duty split ring at the tail. This lure remains in exceptional condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean surfaces and well-maintained hardware. The "WILLIAMS" stamp is clearly visible near the line tie, an authenticating mark for collectors who appreciate the brand's long-standing reputation for high-quality metalwork.
