Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Loco 4, 3/4oz fishing spoon #16700

A weight of 3/4oz (23g) provides the necessary mass to punch through the wind when casting this spoon toward shallow cover. Identified by product code 16700, the Glen Evans Loco 4 measures 3 1/2" (9cm) and sports a clean white finish over its stamped metal body. Originating from the USA, the design is known for its hyperactive movement, a reputation that followed it even after production later transitioned to Luhr Jensen. This specific specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining its original hardware and bright surface finish. Anglers typically deploy this lure in still waters at depths reaching 3.3ft (1m), where its profile proves effective for pike and other predatory species. The construction features a large, robust treble hook at the rear and a heavy-duty split ring at the nose for secure line attachment. Both casting and trolling techniques suit the heavy gauge of the metal, ensuring the lure maintains its position in the water column during varied retrieval speeds.
