Lake Clear

Many others have imitated it but never duplicated the effectiveness of the original. It was so effective that it became a lure style of its own with similar lures offered by numerous manufacturers, including Williams with the Flasher series. It remains the original and maintains its place as the angler favourite for trout. 

The original Wabbler was cut out of a headlight bezel with a pair of tin snips in 1920 by Mr. H. Robare, a French Canadian fishing guide at Clear Lake in the Adirondacks of upstate New York. He was looking to improve his odds and that he did.  News of his success soon got around and Mr. Robare started making more of these lures and christened them “The Lake Clear Wabbler™”.
