Museum Archive: Vintage Luhr Jensen luhr Jensen Cast Champ, 2 3/4oz nickel/blue fishing spoon #18243

Hefty at 2 3/4 oz (75g), this Luhr Jensen Cast Champ is engineered for long-distance casting in both salt and heavy freshwater environments. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm), the solid body provides a dense profile designed for reaching deep-water structures or distant surface boils. This specific specimen, product code 18243, showcases a polished nickel finish accented by a crisp blue and white diagonal paint scheme on its face. The hardware is exceptionally well-preserved, featuring heavy-duty split rings and a single hook dressed with a clean, white bucktail trailer. A small red bead at the head of the bucktail serves as a classic visual trigger that collectors of Luhr Jensen's USA-made gear will immediately recognize. Rated at 5/5, the lure is in beautiful condition, with the reflective nickel surface maintaining its luster and the bucktail remaining full and bright.
