Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Whitefish С90, 1 1/3oz fishing spoon #18354

A weight of 1 1/3 oz (40g) gives this Canadian-made spoon the density needed for deep-water salmon and pike trolling. Measuring 6" (15cm) in length, the Williams Whitefish C90 features a distinctive longitudinal rib, a classic design element that helps the lure maintain a stable path. This specific specimen, identified by product code 18354, showcases a split gold and silver finish. Williams famously utilizes genuine precious metal plating because it reflects light at greater depths and distances than standard paints or polished steel. The hardware consists of a sturdy treble hook and a top-mounted swivel, both showing no signs of use. In a condition rated at 5/5, the textured, scale-like surface across the metal body remains bright and well-preserved. Large-profile spoons like the C90 were engineered to mimic mature baitfish, providing a significant presence in the water column for trophy predators. The stamping on the reverse side is crisp, clearly identifying its heritage as a classic piece of Canadian tackle history.
