Williams W

The Williams Wabler is the lure that founded the fishing tackle division of the Williams Company over 100 years ago. The most recognized and still most popular pattern in the Williams series, the Wabler has been a mainstay with anglers. Originally popular as a lake trout spoon, the Wabler has proven itself, as the past literature photo gallery attests, on a multitude of species including; rainbows, browns, and all members of the trout family. A favorite with northern pike, musky, walleye and salmon as well as saltwater species in coastal waters. The Wabler, like all Williams lures, is stamped from premium quality polished jewelers’ brass. A multi-step plating operation then applies the genuine silver and/or 24k gold finishes for which Williams lures are renowned. These are not standard silver and gold finishes either. The final step in the Williams plating process includes an additional plated “electroclear” outer coat that is then baked. This process does not dull the finish as a lacquer would. It makes Williams Silver and the 1/2 and 1/2 finishes saltwater resistant and essentially tarnish proof. The Wabler is a versatile spoon that performs equally well at a wide range of speeds due to its stabilizing ridge and shape. The ridge that has become a trademark of Williams lures prevents the Wabler from spinning without changing the proven shape and action of the lure. This ridge works so well that Williams was awarded both a U.S. and Canadian patent for it. One of the few patents ever granted on a spoon. Time tested and proven, a true Canadian classic with worldwide recognition.
