Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Reflect-O-Minno, 1/3oz fishing spoon #21998

A dark honeycomb scale pattern stretches across the 1/3 oz (10 g) bronze-toned body of this vintage spoon. Measuring exactly 2" (5 cm), this specimen features a hand-painted yellow and black eye on the upper right edge, a signature detail for the Glen Evans Reflect-O-Minno, cataloged under product code 21998. The construction is rooted in American craftsmanship from the USA, showcasing a weedless setup where a single hook is protected by a thin wire guard, secured firmly by a central flat-head screw on the underside. Rated at 4/5, the lure shows honest signs of age with some slight paint loss near the edges and eye, though the stamped "REFLECT-O-MINNO" name remains clearly legible on the brass-finished belly. Designed for working through heavy cover, the fixed hook arrangement and streamlined profile are hallmarks of this rarity. The metallic gold finish on the reverse provides a high-contrast flash against the darker, textured upper surface.
