Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 2, 3/5oz Nickel / Red fishing spoon #1108

A polished nickel finish serves as the base for the vibrant red accents on this 3" (7.5 cm) Mepps Syclops 2. Identified by product code 1108, the spoon showcases the classic red wave graphics and a bold eye detail near the line tie. On the reverse, the clean metal surface reflects its French origin, where Mepps has refined spoon designs for decades. This specific specimen weighs 3/5 oz (17 g), making it a substantial choice for casting into deeper structure. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook fitted with a bright red strike-indicator sleeve. Rated at a 4/5, the lure displays a few minor surface marks but remains a very clean example of the brand's aesthetic. The face of the lure is clearly stamped with the "Mepps syclops" branding in a stylized script.
