Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Spoon 3, 1/2oz Gold / Fluorescent Green fishing spoon #0657

Fluorescent green prism tape covers the face of this classic casting spoon, creating a high-contrast flash against the underlying gold finish. This 1/2oz (13g) Mepps Spoon 3, identified by product code 0657, features a stamped gold body measuring 2 3/4" (7cm). The front is clearly marked with "MEPPS 3 SPOON" in bold black lettering over the textured green pattern, while the reverse features a simple "U.S.A." stamp confirming its manufacturing origin. It comes rigged with a single treble hook, accented by a bright red plastic tube on the shank to serve as a visual strike point. Presenting in 4/5 condition, the lure maintains its original luster with only light surface wear consistent with careful storage.
