Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps syclops 1, 2/5oz Trout / Gold fishing spoon #0301

Stamped clearly on the gold-finished reverse side are the hallmarks of French craftsmanship, including the weight and model name of this 2/5oz (12g) spoon. The front face presents a textured, glittery Trout pattern, blending soft pink and blue hues over a silver base with traditional black spotting. At 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the lure’s signature S-shaped profile is complemented by a treble hook fitted with a vibrant red plastic sleeve over the shank. Bearing the Product Code 0301, this piece remains in 4/5 condition, showing a bright, clean surface and well-maintained hardware. Mepps has utilized this specific geometric design for decades, ensuring the spoon maintains a steady presence whether cast or trolled. The split rings and hook points show minimal signs of age, making this a reliable addition to any vintage tackle box.
