Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 1, 2/5oz Rainbow Trout / Brass fishing spoon #14808

Stamped clearly into the brass-toned reverse, the "MADE IN FRANCE" mark confirms the heritage of this 12g (2/5 oz) spoon. The front face is finished in a Rainbow Trout color scheme, transitioning from a blue ridge through a pinkish band into a white belly, accented by a signature row of black dots. This 3" (7.5 cm) Mepps Syclops 1, identified by product code 14808, retains its original hardware, including a treble hook protected by a bright orange strike-tube. The finish on both the painted side and the polished brass back shows minimal signs of use, warranting a condition rating of 4/5. Its S-shaped profile is a hallmark of the Syclops series, designed for diverse casting and trolling applications. The "Mepps SYCLOPS 1" branding is printed cleanly on the upper face, while the weight and origin are embossed on the reverse side.
