Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 2 UV, 3/5oz Chartreuse fishing spoon #14159

Originating from the Mepps factory in France, this 3/5 oz (17 g) spoon is a classic example of the Syclops 2 UV design, identified by product code 14159. The 3" (7.5 cm) body is coated in a vivid chartreuse finish that reacts strongly to UV light, providing a glowing profile in low-visibility environments. Black crescent-shaped accents are printed along the side to simulate the movement of prey, leading to a prominent red and black eye at the head. The hardware is in 5/5 condition, featuring a high-carbon steel treble hook fitted with a red plastic sleeve that acts as a strike point. The branding is clearly stamped on the face, integrated with the graphic pattern to ensure visibility and authenticity. This specimen maintains a clean, vibrant exterior with no signs of wear on the painted surfaces or the metal attachment points.
