Measuring 1 1/4" (3 cm) and weighing a mere 1/16 oz (1.6 g), the hammered copper surface of this vintage lure provides a multi-faceted profile for catching light. This US-made Weedless Weber, carrying product code 6242, is a discontinued rarity that collectors of early Weber tackle will recognize by its distinct construction. The single hook is dressed with vibrant yellow hair, anchored firmly to the spoon with a red thread wrap to facilitate fishing near surface vegetation. Maintaining a 5/5 condition rating, the copper body and hardware remain bright and free of wear, showing the high level of preservation for this specimen. A hollow rivet is positioned centrally on the spoon body to secure the hook assembly, while the leading edge is finished with a clean-punched hole for the line attachment.
