Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Spoon 1, 1/4oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #8944

A vibrant red honeycomb pattern is applied to the front of the nickel-finished body, catching light across its faceted surface. This 2" (5 cm) casting lure, identified by product code 8944, features a clean nickel plating that rates at a 5/5 for condition. On the brushed concave reverse, the metal is clearly stamped with "U.S.A.", confirming its manufacturing heritage. The Mepps Spoon 1 is rigged with a treble hook that includes a bright red attractor sleeve over the shank, secured by a sturdy split ring. At 1/4 oz (7 g), the weight is precisely balanced for standard spinning tackle. The top of the spoon is also fitted with a split ring for direct line or swivel attachment, maintaining the simple and effective design standard associated with the brand.
