Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 2, 3/5oz Nickel / Pink fishing spoon #1791

Stamped clearly on the reverse of this curved spoon are the Mepps logo and "Made in France" marks, signifying its heritage in European tackle manufacturing. This 3" (7.5cm) lure features a polished nickel finish on the front, accented by vibrant pink-red scale patterns and a matching eye near the top hole. Weighing 3/5oz (17g), the metal body is paired with a sharp treble hook that includes a protective red plastic sleeve over the shank, acting as a visual attractor. Cataloged under product code 1791, the metal surface retains a high degree of luster and clarity. The condition of this specimen is a solid 4/5, showing only very slight signs of previous use while maintaining all original hardware and paint details. Its unique S-shape geometry is engineered for casting across various water columns, ensuring it remains stable at different retrieval speeds.
