Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Little Wolf, 1/4oz trout fishing spoon #21158

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this spoon features a distinct trout-inspired palette that captures the light. The vibrant "trout" pattern on the front face blends a gradient of deep blue at the top into a pinkish-red hue over a shimmering silver base, accented with bold black spots and stylized paw prints. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), the solid brass body is stamped on the reverse with the manufacturer's name, the Little Wolf model designation, and its USA origin. The treble hook comes fitted with a bright orange strike-indicator tube, which provides a high-visibility target for following fish. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure shows a remarkably clean finish and crisp hardware. This specific specimen is cataloged under product code 21158.
