Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Spoon 2, 1/3oz Nickel / Rainbow Hologram fishing spoon #8423

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), the Mepps Spoon 2 features a distinctive rainbow hologram finish that captures a broad spectrum of light. The nickel-plated body measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and carries the classic "MEPPS 2 SPOON" lettering printed directly onto the holographic insert. On the reverse side, the "U.S.A." stamp confirms its manufacturing origin. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook protected by a bright red plastic sleeve, a signature detail for this specific era of Mepps production. This specimen, cataloged as product code 8423, remains in 5/5 condition, showing a bright, reflective surface across the entire nickel finish. The holographic scales provide a textured appearance without the need for traditional paint, and the split ring attachment at the nose ensures a secure connection for casting or trolling setups.
