Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Little Wolf, 1/8oz Brown Trout fishing spoon #23500

Weighing a precise 1/8 oz (4 g), this solid brass spoon is finished in a detailed Brown Trout pattern featuring dark spotting and the signature paw print logo. Stamped on the reverse with the Mepps name and the "Little Wolf" model designation, this specimen carries the product code 23500 and was manufactured in the USA. The 1 1/4 inch (3 cm) body displays a bright, gold-plated surface on both sides, which maintains its original luster as the lure is in unused condition (5/5). A sharp treble hook is attached via a heavy-duty split ring and features a vibrant red strike-indicator sleeve on the shank. Designed for casting in various freshwater environments, the spoon's thick construction prevents it from bending under pressure. The transition from the gold base to the darker brown gradient along the edge is clean and crisp, characteristic of this classic Mepps series.
