Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Spoon 2, 1/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #12418

Stamping the reverse side with a clear "U.S.A." mark, this Mepps Spoon 2 is a classic example of vintage American craftsmanship. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), the lure's slender 2 1/4" (6 cm) frame is finished in a bright Nickel, featuring a distinctive diamond-textured holographic pattern on the convex face. As a dedicated trolling spoon identified by Product Code 12418, it carries the heritage of the Mepps brand into a design separate from their iconic spinners. The hardware remains in excellent shape, featuring a sharp treble hook secured by a characteristic red plastic sleeve. Maintaining a condition rating of 5/5, the polished surfaces and clear lettering—reading "MEPPS 2 SPOON"—remain highly legible and vibrant.
