Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Spoon 3, 1/2oz Gold fishing spoon #10749

Engraved deep into the 2 3/4" (7 cm) gold blade, the manufacturer's name identifies this Mepps Spoon 3 (Product Code 10749) as a genuine American-made lure. The 1/2 oz (13 g) weight provides the density needed for reaching targets further from the boat or bank. On the reverse side, a simple "U.S.A." stamp confirms the origin of the brass body, which presents in 5/5 condition. The hardware consists of a robust split ring and a needle-sharp treble hook with a bright silver finish. Its traditional willow-leaf profile is stamped with the size number 3, indicating its versatility for various predatory fish. The polished gold surface remains reflective across the entire length of the metal.
