The Williams Wabler is the lure that founded the fishing tackle division of the Williams company over 90 years ago. The most recognized and still today 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. a northern pike favorite, musky, walleye and salmon as well as salt water species in coastal waters.
The Wabler is stamped from premium polished brass. A multi-step plating operation then applies the genuine silver and/or 24k gold finishes Williams lures are renown for.
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 laquer would. It does render Williams silver and half & half 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, Williams was awarded a US and Canadian patent for it. One of the few patents ever awarded a spoon.
