Measuring exactly 2" (5 cm) from tip to tail, this classic casting lure features a brilliant red prismatic scale pattern designed to catch light effectively under the surface. The weight of 1/4 oz (7 g) makes it a versatile choice for anglers targeting panfish or trout on light tackle. On the convex front, the "MEPPS 1 SPOON" lettering is clearly printed in white over the red reflective insert, while the reverse side reveals a clean, polished nickel surface stamped with "U.S.A." to identify its manufacturing heritage. A small section of red plastic tubing is fitted over the shank of the treble hook, providing a specific strike point for following predators. This specimen, identified by Product Code 7283, is in 5/5 condition, with the metallic finish and reflective red surface appearing bright and well-preserved. Sturdy split rings are mounted at both ends of the lure's body, ensuring the hardware is secure for casting and retrieval.
