Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 0993, 2/5oz fishing spoon #0993

The 2/5 oz (12 g) weight of this French-made classic makes it a versatile choice for distance casting or reaching specific depths. Sporting a vibrant fluorescent orange finish, the spoon features the iconic black crescent graphics and a detailed red and black eye on the front face. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, the distinctive curved body is clearly stamped with the "Mepps syclops-1" branding. The hardware consists of a sturdy split ring and a sharp treble hook, which is upgraded with a bright red attractor sleeve on the shank to provide a focal point for the strike. Identified by product code 0993, this specimen showcases the precision engineering Mepps is known for. The paint and graphics are remarkably preserved, resulting in a 5/5 condition rating. The reverse side is finished in matching solid orange to ensure visibility from multiple angles during the retrieve.
