Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Loco 5, 1oz Hammered Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #5549

Hammered texture across the front face creates a multi-directional flash that pairs with a vibrant blue scale-like pattern on this vintage Glen Evans Loco 5. Sized at 4 1/4" (11 cm), this USA-made spoon carries a substantial weight of 1 oz (28 g), making it a stable choice for both casting and trolling applications. The single hook is accented with a white hair dressing tied off with dark red and black thread, a classic detail that adds profile and movement in the water. Collectors will recognize the distinct teardrop profile that transitions into a narrower neck leading to the line tie split ring. This specimen, identified by product code 5549, is designed for working depths up to 3.3 ft (1.0 m) and is specifically noted for its effectiveness when targeting inactive pike in still water. The Hammered Nickel / Blue finish remains bright, contributing to a condition rating of 4/5. The reverse side features a smooth, polished silver surface that provides a high-contrast flash against the textured front.
