Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Loco 5, 1oz Nickel/Red fishing spoon #17300

Measuring 4 1/4" (11 cm) in length, the distinctive elongated profile of the Glen Evans Loco 5 reflects a design intended for high-activity presentations. This particular specimen maintains a solid 4/5 condition, showing light, honest wear while preserving the integrity of its bold Nickel/Red finish. The surface features a textured prismatic tape that creates a shimmering honeycomb effect, framed by a vibrant red border along the edges. Weighing in at 1 oz (28 g), it offers significant heft for casting into the wind or reaching distance when trolling. Historically utilized for targeting pike in shallow environments up to 3.3 ft (1.0 m) deep, this American-made spoon carries the product code 17300. The hardware remains functional, with a classic treble hook and split ring assembly that highlights its utility for anglers and collectors alike.
