Museum Archive: Vintage Glen Evans Loco 3, 3/5oz Nickel / Blue fishing spoon #4535

Stamped clearly on the reverse of the metal body are the words "GLEN L. EVANS LOCO 3," a mark of quality from its original USA production. This 3/5 oz (17 g) spoon measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and presents a striking Nickel / Blue color scheme enhanced by geometric prism tape overlays. These reflective sections, found on both the rounded head and the tapered body, are characteristic of the 4535 product code series. Anglers typically utilize this specific size for casting or trolling in calm environments, particularly when pike are holding at depths near 3ft (1.0 m). The hardware is quite clean, featuring a split ring attachment at the line tie and a sharp treble hook at the tail. Exhibiting a 5/5 condition rating, the blue finish remains deep and saturated against the bright nickel plating.
