Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Spoon 3, 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #8937

Prismatic honeycomb scale decals give the Mepps Spoon 3 a distinctive reflective quality suited for varied light conditions during trolling. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the 1/2oz (13g) nickel body displays the original "MEPPS 3 SPOON" branding in bold black text. The reverse side remains clean and carries the "U.S.A." stamp, a hallmark of this manufacturer’s domestic production. Identifying this specimen as product code 8937, it comes equipped with a large treble hook protected by a red strike-tube, which acts as a visual trigger. In 5/5 condition, the lure shows no signs of use, with the plating and holographic sticker remaining fully intact. Its design focuses on weight distribution for stable depth control when trolled behind a vessel.
