Museum Archive: Vintage Williams Whitefish C90, 1 1/3oz Silver fishing spoon #3223

Weighing in at 1 1/3 oz (40g), this substantial Canadian-made spoon from Williams showcases the classic elongated profile sought after for deep-water trolling and casting. The silver finish on this Williams Whitefish C90, product code 3223, provides high-visibility flash even in low-light conditions. Measuring a full 6" (15cm), the lure features a prominent longitudinal spine that reinforces the thin metal body, a design hallmark of the Williams brand which has specialized in precious metal plating for decades. The stamped metal body is equipped with a large treble hook attached via a sturdy split ring, while the head is fitted with a barrel swivel to help manage line twist. This specific specimen maintains a clean appearance with a condition rating of 4/5, showing only minor signs of its history. The stippled texture across the silver surface breaks up light reflections, effectively mimicking the scales of large baitfish like cisco or whitefish.
