Museum Archive: Vintage Weber Mr Champ, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #5235

Stamped clearly into the polished surface, the 'MR CHAMP' branding identifies this classic American-made jig from Weber. Tipping the scales at 3/4oz (21g), the heavy-gauge metal body features a brilliant Nickel finish that reflects light across its aerodynamic shape. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, this specimen carries the product code 5235 and represents a period before the line was acquired by Luhr Jensen. The front side includes the iconic leaping fish logo and 'MR CHAMP' text, while the reverse remains a smooth, mirrored surface. A sturdy split ring connects a sharp treble hook to the tail, ready for vertical jigging or long-distance casting. This lure arrives in 5/5 condition, showing the high-quality plating Weber was known for throughout their century-long history in the North American market. The top eyelet is fitted with a heavy-duty ring for secure line attachment.
