Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 2, 3/5oz Silver / Rainbow Trout fishing spoon #14158

Weighing in at 3/5oz (17g), this French-crafted spoon features the distinctive S-shaped profile that has made the series a staple for anglers worldwide. The finish on this 3" (7.5cm) specimen is a vibrant Silver / Rainbow Trout pattern, consisting of a blue and magenta glitter gradient over a scale-textured silver base with a row of black spots. Flipping the lure over reveals the polished silver reverse, clearly stamped with "Mepps Syclops 2", the 17g weight, and the "Made in France" origin mark. Identified by product code 14158, this particular lure is in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use on the body or the treble hook. The hardware includes a red plastic attractor sleeve on the hook, a classic Mepps detail intended to provide a visual strike point. Its complex geometry is designed for effective use in both casting and trolling applications.
