Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Loco 3, 3/5oz nickel fishing spoon #18723

A shimmering nickel finish characterizes this 2 3/4" (7cm) metal spoon, making it a standout addition for any collector focusing on mid-century American tackle. Manufactured in the USA by Glen Evans under the Loco 3 moniker, this specific 18723 specimen features a distinctive prismatic tape inlay on its face, designed to throw off intense flashes during a retrieve. The reverse of the blade is stamped with the model name, confirming its identity as a versatile tool for both casting and trolling applications. Tipping the scales at 3/5oz (17g), it is weighted effectively for reaching depths around 3.3ft (1m), specifically when targeting pike in still waters. The hardware remains bright and strong, and with a condition rating of 5/5, the lure appears unused and meticulously preserved. The geometric facets of the reflective insert catch light from multiple angles, a hallmark of the Loco series' visual appeal.
