As of current seems like the 3/8th oz version is no longer made and there exists 1/12th oz. With the exception of baiting the lure, but I didn't connect with fish as much as the Kastmaster that were available at the 1/12th oz.
I really like the finished product but for some reason I couldn't get fish to bite the lure smallest version I was using. I think 1/8th oz was the smallest version available at that time along with the standard 1/4 oz and 3/8th oz version. At the time of introduction there were like two maybe three sizes. It's not a casting spoon so it doesn't perform that well as far as retrieval, or I haven't found out the correct retrieval speed. So essentially it's has more weight to it's profile. This clone was a much thicker spoon cut version. Came with matching kicker tails that compliments lure. They were detailed stickers and very good glow paint jobs. Years later Northland came up with their Macho Minnow version for ice fishing. I now just keep them as weight attractors. I also admit that I've never caught a single fish on this particular clone. It's amazing how little things makes such noticeable changes to a lure's action. The overall lure has a slightly thinner cut, making the lure just slightly larger and longer than a comparative 1/4 oz Kastmaster. First there were a slight less of an edge to the cut of the spoons, the were more rounded. That's when I noticed a lack of lure action or rather something more definitive that made them different. I put them together and used them pretty much on my next few trips. It came with six 1/4 oz spoons, split rings, and hooks. It was at that time a Cabela's spoon kit. Now I've also bought into some generic copy cat versions too. It also has a more feedback pulse as the lure is performing it's action. The Cast Champ does nearly the same thing, but due to it's slightly wider profile is also slightly slower on the rhythm of kicking side to side. The lure also has a good responsive flutter kick as soon as one stops retrieving it. When using side by side comparison, the Kastmaster has very little resistance and I'm almost unsure if the lure is actually kicking side to side, but in clear water it's easy to see it. The larger sized Cast Champs came with welded rings instead of a common split ring.

The Cast Champ was slightly thicker and slightly wider, plus it came with a reflective chrome sticker. It's also thinner and slightly more slender. A sliver polish Kastmaster is high polish reflective. Now there were obvious differences that I notice right away. The first clone of the Kastmaster lure I came upon was a Luhr Jensen Cast Champ. However the resemblances is uncanny and it's clones are going to mimic or misrepresent it all together. It works so well, that clones of it exists to various degrees with slight subtle nuances that makes them different. For whatever reason, it's success ratio is without doubt that it works. Given the right retrieve speed, the lure kicks side to side with an enticing motion that gets fish to chase and bite it. It's that uneven cut that makes it does what it does. One look at it and it's nothing more than a cut piece of brass with and uneven cut. Take for example the Acme Kastmaster spoon lure for example. There's something about a spoon design that makes it successful beyond it's conception.
