Museum Archive: Vintage Loco 2 Glen Evans, 1/4oz Gold fishing spoon #5500

A faceted, light-catching pattern defines the front surface of this 1/4oz (7g) gold-finished spoon. Stamped clearly on the reverse with the Glen Evans name, this Loco 2 model, bearing product code 5500, represents a classic piece of American tackle history. The 2" (5cm) body is intended for versatility, being effective for both casting and trolling applications. This specimen is noted for its utility when targeting inactive pike in still waters at depths reaching 3.3ft (1 m). The gold finish displays some light surface wear and minor scuffing along the edges and reverse, consistent with a 4/5 condition rating. Hardware includes a single treble hook attached by a split ring at the tail and a corresponding ring at the head for secure line attachment.
