Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 2, 3/5oz rainbow trout fishing spoon #20284

Stamped with its 17 g (3/5 oz) weight and French origin on the concave silver side, this spoon displays the classic craftsmanship synonymous with the Mepps workshop. The rainbow trout finish on the convex face transitions from a deep blue top edge into a vibrant pink lateral stripe over a silver scale-patterned base. A series of black dots and the “Mepps SYCLOPS 2” designation are printed clearly along the 3" (7.5 cm) body, which is anchored by a high-contrast white-and-black eye. The hardware is in pristine condition, featuring a silver treble hook equipped with a factory-original red plastic sleeve intended as a visual strike trigger. This specimen, identified by product code 20284, is in unused condition (5/5), maintaining its original factory luster on both the painted and polished surfaces. It is a solid choice for anglers focusing on casting or trolling techniques for large predators.
