Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Spoon 2, 1/3oz Nickel fishing spoon #7308

Stamped clearly with "U.S.A." on its polished reverse side, this Mepps Spoon 2 is a classic example of American-made hardware. The 1/3 oz (9 g) nickel body is finished with a faceted holographic scale pattern on the face, specifically designed to catch and reflect light during a retrieve. Measuring 2 1/4 inches (6 cm), the lure carries the product code 7308 and remains in 5/5 condition, exhibiting a clean surface and sharp, bold "MEPPS 2 SPOON" lettering. The hardware assembly includes a treble hook featuring a signature red plastic sleeve on the shank, connected to the frame with robust split rings at both the head and tail. This specific specimen maintains its original luster across the nickel plating and the prismatic scale inlay.
