At a weight of 2/5oz (12g), this model—identified by product code 5573—is built for precision casting and effective deep-water retrieval. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook accented by a classic red plastic sleeve, a traditional Mepps detail used to provide a visual trigger. This specific Mepps Syclops 1 remains in excellent condition, earning a 5/5 rating for its vibrant finish and crisp graphics. The double-contoured body profile serves as the primary technical characteristic of this versatile lure.
