Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 1, 2/5oz fishing spoon #20258

Stamped clearly on the gold-tone reverse of this 2 1/4" (6 cm) brass spoon is the 'Made in France' hallmark, testifying to the heritage behind the Mepps Syclops 1. Carrying the product code 20258, this specimen tips the scales at 2/5 oz (12 g), making it a substantial choice for reaching desired depths when casting. The face is finished in a vibrant fluorescent orange, accented by a sequence of black wave-like patterns and a bold red-and-black target eye near the line tie. This specific lure remains in exceptional condition, rated 5/5, with its painted surface and gold-plated back showing zero signs of degradation. The hardware consists of a sharp treble hook fitted with a signature red plastic sleeve, a detail that provides a focused visual strike point. The complex, ten-plane curvature of the body is a technical achievement designed to catch and reflect light across the water column. Every stamping on the rear, including the weight and brand logo, remains crisp and well-defined.
