Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 2, 3/5oz Silver fishing spoon #7697

Found in a silver finish with a distinct scaly texture, this French-made casting spoon weighs in at 3/5 oz (17g). On the front face, a series of red flame-like accents wrap around the central text, complemented by a bold red and black eye motif near the line tie hole. Flipping the 3" (7.5 cm) body over reveals the classic stamping characteristic of authentic Mepps production, clearly marked with the brand name, weight, and "France" origin. The treble hook comes equipped with a bright red plastic attractor sleeve, a functional detail designed to provide a high-visibility focal point. This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, showing remarkably clean metallic surfaces and sharp, vibrant graphics. The double-contoured profile is the defining physical feature of the Syclops line, which is designed to reflect light across multiple planes while being cast or trolled. This specific item carries the product code 7697.
