Weighing in at a substantial 1 1/4 oz (35 g), this vintage metal spoon showcases the solid brass construction that defined the early output of the Weber company in the USA. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the lure features a teardrop profile clearly stamped with the Mr Champ name and the brand’s distinctive logo. This specific specimen, identified by product code 0648, maintains a 3/5 condition rating, displaying a darkened surface that collectors often appreciate as a sign of authenticity and age. The hardware is anchored by a heavy-duty split ring at the rear, securing a large treble hook designed for targeting larger game fish. Weber, an American manufacturer with over a century of history, eventually saw this successful design transition to the Luhr Jensen catalog. The thick-gauge metal and simple line-tie hole at the tapered nose emphasize its utilitarian design, intended primarily for long-distance casting or deep-water jigging techniques.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
