Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Whitefish, 1/2oz Gold fishing spoon #9727

Glistening with a genuine gold finish, this 1/2 oz (14 g) lure demonstrates the classic Canadian craftsmanship associated with Williams. Measuring 4 1/4" (11 cm), the spoon features a prominent longitudinal rib that helps maintain its balance during both high and low speeds. This thinner version of the Whitefish model, identified by product code 9727, is tailored for trolling techniques when targeting pike and walleye. The face is clearly stamped with "WILLIAMS WHITEFISH PATENTED," highlighting its historical design pedigree. The hardware includes a sturdy brass swivel on the leading eyelet to mitigate line twist and a sharp treble hook at the trailing end. With its metal surfaces remaining bright and clean, the specimen maintains an excellent 5/5 condition rating. Its lighter profile allows it to maintain a stable track in the water column compared to heavier casting versions.
