Museum Archive: Vintage Weber MrChamp, 1 1/4oz Brass fishing spoon #2310

Polished brass construction gives this 1 1/4 oz (35g) spoon its reflective profile, a substantial weight choice for long-distance casting or deep-water presentations. At 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, this Weber MrChamp carries the distinct manufacturer stampings on the interior, a hallmark of the company’s century-long presence in the North American tackle market before the model was eventually acquired by Luhr Jensen. Cataloged under product code 2310, the lure retains its bright metallic luster across the smooth, teardrop-shaped body. The hardware consists of a heavy-duty split ring connecting a large treble hook, which remains sharp and structurally sound. Given its 4/5 condition rating, the metal surface is well-preserved with only minor softening of the original shine from time. The thickness of the brass indicates a lure designed to reach depth quickly when cast from a shoreline or trolled behind a boat.
