Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 2, 3/5oz copper fishing spoon #22296

Copper finishes like the one on this 17 g (3/5 oz) specimen are a favorite among anglers for their ability to provide a natural flash in various light conditions. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm), this Mepps Syclops 2, product code 22296, showcases the precision French engineering the brand is known for. The front of the spoon is embossed with a fine scale pattern and features a bright red eye sticker near the nose. On the reverse side, the 'MADE IN FRANCE' stamp remains sharp and clear against the polished surface. The hardware is in excellent shape, featuring a treble hook accented by a vibrant red plastic tube on the shank. Rated at 5/5, the lure shows no signs of previous use, with the metal finish and components appearing impeccably preserved.
