Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Wabler W60, 3/4oz Silver / Gold fishing spoon #9849

A distinctive longitudinal ridge runs down the center of this 3/4 oz (21 g) spoon, a hallmark design feature of the Williams Wabler W60 (Product Code 9849) that helps maintain a stable track at various retrieve speeds. The two-tone Silver / Gold finish is applied through a genuine precious metal plating process, a signature of Williams' Canadian manufacturing that provides exceptional flash when targeting pike or zander. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.2 cm), the body features a hammered-style texture consisting of numerous small depressions designed to scatter light across the water column. The hardware includes a sturdy brass swivel at the line tie and a sharp treble hook at the trailing end, both showing evidence of careful previous use. With a condition rating of 4/5, the precious metal coating is well-preserved, showing only minor surface wear from time spent in a tackle box. This specific design was engineered to stay balanced, utilizing the stabilizing rib as a keel during the retrieve.
