Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Loco 3, 3/5oz fishing spoon #13500

Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this specimen represents the classic Loco 3 profile originally developed by Glen Evans in the USA. Finished in a vibrant green-to-yellow gradient, the blade features distinct white speckling that adds a layer of visual texture. Under low-light conditions, the glow-in-the-dark properties of the paint become evident, as seen in the secondary image, providing a specialized advantage for low-visibility environments. The spoon is rigged with a robust treble hook and split ring hardware. Its signature shape, characterized by a wide, rounded tail and narrower neck, is intended for fishing in depths up to 3.3 ft (1 m). At 3/5 oz (17 g), it offers sufficient weight for both casting and trolling, particularly in still-water settings for pike. This specific item, identified by product code 13500, remains in a clean and well-preserved state with a condition rating of 4/5. While later produced by Luhr Jensen, this earlier Glen Evans example showcases the original manufacturing details that collectors look for in vintage spoons.
