Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps syclops 2, 3/5oz Blue / Nickel fishing spoon #0998

Ten unique reflective planes on the body surface catch the light, a hallmark of the Mepps syclops 2 design produced in France. This specific spoon, identified by product code 0998, features a vibrant blue finish on the convex side accented with black graphic swoops and a bold red eye. Flipping the 3/5 oz (17 g) lure over reveals a clean nickel back, providing a high-contrast flash. At a length of 3" (7.5 cm), it remains a staple for anglers targeting various freshwater species. The hardware consists of a sharp treble hook accented by a fluorescent orange attractor tube. Rated at 5/5 condition, the paint and nickel surfaces are well-preserved with the manufacturer logo and model name clearly stamped on the blue face.
