Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Loco 4, 3/4oz Gold fishing spoon #1775

Gold diamond-patterned scales catch the light across the convex surface of this 3/4 oz (23 g) spoon, identifying it as the classic Glen Evans Loco 4. Stamped clearly on the reverse with the "LOCO 4" mark, this specimen reflects the early manufacturing period in the USA before the design was eventually acquired by Luhr Jensen. The 4/5 condition rating shows through light, honest surface marks on the finish that preserve the integrity of the original texture. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm), the lure features a single hook setup and split ring assembly, making it a solid choice for targeting pike in shallow flats or areas with minimal current down to about 3 ft (1 m). Experienced anglers value this Product Code 1775 for its specific teardrop geometry, which is weighted for casting and trolling in still-water environments. The distinct flared tail and narrow neck section are characteristic of the original Evans production run.
