Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 1, 2/5oz gold fishing spoon #22586

A bright gold finish catches the light across the S-curved body of this specimen, which measures exactly 2 1/4" (6 cm). This Mepps Syclops 1, identified by product code 22586, features the classic profile that French tackle is known for globally. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), the lure is equipped with a distinct red and black eye near the head, providing a high-contrast strike point. On the tail end, a sturdy treble hook is dressed with a protective red plastic sleeve, adding a splash of color against the polished metal. Flipping the lure over reveals the manufacturer's mark and size stamped directly into the brass-toned metal. Showing only minor signs of handling, the condition holds a respectable 4/5 rating, with the split rings remaining tight and the plating showing a strong luster.
