Museum Archive: Vintage Williy Wobbler 3 Luhr Jensen, 1/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #5352

Polished Nickel plating provides a mirror-like finish on this oval-shaped spoon, a characteristic that defined many of the early Luhr Jensen offerings from the USA. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) and weighing 1/3oz (9.5g), this Williy Wobbler 3 is cataloged under product code 5352 and is a discontinued model. The blade features a prominent raised central spine and deep stamping on the reverse side that clearly displays the model text alongside the manufacturer’s name. It is rigged with a robust barrel swivel at the line tie and a sharp treble hook, both secured via durable split rings. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing clean surfaces that reflect the quality of vintage manufacturing. The specific curvature and balanced weight of the brass body were crafted for effectiveness in both casting and trolling scenarios. Anglers often relied on these spoons for targeting trout and salmon in varied water conditions across North America.
