Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Loco 4, 3/4oz nickel/orange UV fishing spoon #18700

A nickel and orange UV finish highlights the stamped metal body of this vintage lure, which measures 3 1/2" (9cm) in length. Identified as the Glen Evans Loco 4 with product code 18700, this 3/4oz (23g) spoon displays a vibrant orange face equipped with a prismatic, checkerboard-patterned tape insert. The reverse side features a polished nickel surface where the "LOCO" name and size stamp are clearly visible. Maintaining a 5/5 condition, the hardware consists of a single hook rigged with a red, ribbed soft plastic curly tail secured by a screw. This configuration is intended for casting and trolling applications, particularly when targeting pike in calm waters at depths of approximately 3ft (0.9 m). Originally a Glen Evans design from the USA, the Loco series was later absorbed into the Luhr Jensen catalog. The specific weight and curve of the spoon are designed for use in environments without significant current.
