diemai Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Hi , People , Purchased a little uncommon spoon from US Ebay the other day , the offer simply applied to a large 6" trolling spoon , no manufacturer was stated . Since I'm an enthusiastic spoon guy , and the offer turned out cheap , I bought that spoon , ......should be American made , I reckon . It came with a meaty chromed hook attached to the slim end and on the wider end it had a sort of a jigging spoon of brass attached , obviously homemade , supposively acting as an added weight to keep the spoon deeper . Just rigged the spoon with new hardware as shown to try it for casting , .....it is made of hammered sheet metal of 1mm thickness(little less that 1/20"). Someone in here , that could possibly name the manufacturer , model name or knows something about the way , this lure is originally supposed to be fished ? Thanks a lot , diemai Edited November 20, 2013 by diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 If it is made from steel it is probably ancient . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 If it is made from steel it is probably ancient . No , it is not made from steel , ....made the magnet test , does not stick , ...I assume chromed brass . Thanks , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wchilton Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I found a pic that looks very much like it. Name is Williams Whitefish. Looks like a lot of the Williams spoons have that ridge down the center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) @ wchilton You're dead on , ....just googled that name , this must be the one , .......thanks a lot for having found it for me ! Looks like they are Canadian made , .....stated to be approbiate for casting for northern pike and also suitable to be reverse rigged to change their action( I have already done this for better casting performance ) . This 6" version is called the "C90" size , being the largest "Whitefish " available , stated at 1 1/2 ounces of weight , ....still the "C80" available , stats are 5 1/4" and1 ounce and the smallest "C70" at 4 3/4" and 3/4 ounces of weight , ...all available in a little selection of colors . The "Williams" company offers a few different spoon models as well , one particular said to be sold for 80 years now , ...so one could assume , that these are time proven lures , ....can't wait to throw mine for the first time, ...but local stillwaters might start to ice up soon . Just like to know more about my lures , ...and one never knows , .......if it should turn out to be a good catcher , I can always order for more now . Thanks a lot again , ...greetz , Dieter Edited November 26, 2013 by diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
