Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Loco 4, 3/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #14100

Polished nickel plating on the reverse side is stamped with the manufacturer's mark, identifying this piece as a genuine Glen Evans product. Weighing 3/4oz (23g) and measuring 3 1/2" (9cm), the Loco 4 (Product Code 14100) is a classic American spoon designed for versatility in casting and trolling. This specimen features a white-painted front with holographic diamond tape, a finish that provides significant visual contrast against the metal body. Though the brand was later acquired by Luhr Jensen, this specific lure hails from the original Glen Evans era. The hardware is remarkably well-preserved, including the treble hook and split ring. It is typically utilized for targeting pike at depths around 3.3ft (1 m). Rated at 5/5, the lure shows no major wear, and the nickel remains clean and bright. The holographic tape is securely seated within the spoon's central and lower indentations.
