Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Spoon 1, 1/4oz Gold / Hologram / Red fishing spoon #0073

Stamping on the prismatic silver-white holographic scale pattern identifies this specimen as the Mepps Spoon in size 1. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g) with a length of 2" (5 cm), the lure is built on a gold-tone metal base that provides a warm, reflective contrast to its bright frontal insert. The treble hook is equipped with a distinct red plastic attractor sleeve, adding a focal point to the tail end of the assembly. Identified by product code 0073 and manufactured in the USA, this lure is in well-preserved 4/5 condition, retaining the clarity of the vertical 'MEPPS 1 SPOON' lettering. Both the top and bottom split rings remain tight, connecting the stamped body to its bronze-finished hook hardware.
