Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 1 UV, 2/5oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #7230

Glowing under ultraviolet light, the finish on this Mepps Syclops 1 UV features a vibrant Fire Tiger pattern that shifts from a deep forest green at the nose to a warm orange tail. Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g), this 2 1/4" (6 cm) spoon displays the classic S-shaped profile characteristic of its French manufacturing heritage. The black crescent-shaped accents and distinct brand stamping are clearly visible on the body, which carries Product Code 7230. Equipped with a sturdy treble hook encased in a bright red sleeve, the hardware is set for casting or trolling. The surface shows light, honest signs of use near the edges, which places this specimen at a condition rating of 4/5. As the secondary image demonstrates, the reactive pigments are specifically designed to remain highly visible in low-light environments or deeper water columns.
