Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 1, 2/5oz Orange fishing spoon #10305

Coated in a bright orange finish, the curved body of this spoon features high-contrast black markings that transition into a specialized UV-reactive glow for visibility in deep or murky water. Weighing 2/5oz (12g) with a length of 2 1/4" (6cm), the Mepps Syclops 1 (Product Code 10305) remains in 5/5 condition, appearing unused. A prominent red-and-white eye is positioned near the line tie, providing a clear aiming point for predators. The hardware consists of a robust split ring and a treble hook dressed with a red strike tube, a signature Mepps feature found on many of their American-made lures. Ten different reflective planes are stamped across the metal body to ensure light catches the surface from multiple angles during the retrieve.
