Description

The Williams Wabler LITE series offers the classic original Wabler in half the weight. This LITE series is a perfect option for shallow water presentations where you will have the advantage of the proven action of the Wabler and the flash of the precious metal finishes in a spoon that will run shallower and work at even the slowest trolling speeds. Short cast it into the shallows or pockets and let it flutter down. Use it as an attractor without a hook followed by 12" to 24" of Maxima line and a fly or a hook and bait, or troll it deeper using lead core or a downrigger. The Wabler LITE really shines in a slow retrieve or trolling presentation where its lighter weight allows it to work at slower speeds and run shallower than the traditional classic W50 Wabler. The design originated from angler comments suggesting just that. Especially in the early spring, certain species are found in shallower water that warms first after ice out. To target these fish you need a lure that can be effectively worked in shallow water and often a slower presentation is more effective at this time of year. The LITE works just fine under these conditions and with the addition of a little weight, it is just as effective in deeper water presentations.

Field Notes

Best for shallow-water trolling or short casting when fish are holding high in the water column. It can also be used as an attractor ahead of a fly or bait, or trolled deeper with lead core or a downrigger. The lighter design is meant to work at very slow speeds and in early-season cold water after ice-out.

Pros

  • Runs shallower than the standard Wabler
  • Works at very slow trolling speeds
  • Versatile for casting, trolling, or attractor use

Cons

  • Half-weight design may be too light for deeper presentations without added weight
  • Not ideal when a faster sink or deeper running spoon is needed
