Williams Wabler

The Williams Wabler is the lure that founded the fishing tackle division of the Williams Company more than 100 years ago. The most recognized and still today the most popular model in the Williams series, the Wabler has been a mainstay of anglers. Originally popular as a lake trout spoon, the Wabler has proven itself on a multitude of species including rainbows, browns and all members of the trout family, northern pike, musky, walleye, salmon as well as saltwater species in coastal waters. The Wabler, like all Williams lures, is stamped from premium polished brass. A multi-step plating operation then applies the genuine Silver and/or 24K Gold finishes that Williams lures are renowned for. These are not standard Silver and Gold finishes. The final step in the Williams plating process incorporates a further plated "electroclear" outer coat which is then baked on. This process does not dull the finish as a lacquer would. It renders Williams Silver and 1/2 & 1/2 finishes saltwater resistant and basically tarnish proof. The Wabler is a versatile spoon which works equally well at a wide range of speeds due to its stabilizing ridge and shape. The ridge, which has become a trademark of Williams lures, prevents the Wabler from rotating without changing the proven shape and action of the lure. This ridge works so well that Williams was awarded a US and Canadian patent for it — one of the few patents ever awarded to a spoon. Time tested and proven, a true Canadian classic with worldwide recognition.
