Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 2 UV, 3/5oz Orange fishing spoon #9787

Sporting a vibrant Orange finish, this 3" (7.5cm) spoon features a design optimized for visibility in varying light conditions. The 3/5oz (17g) body is stamped with the "Mepps syclops 2" signature and accented by a series of black crescent shapes along its length. Under UV light, the coating provides an intense reddish-orange glow, as shown in the dark-field photography, aiding visibility in deeper water columns. A red sleeve covers the shank of the treble hook, providing a subtle strike point behind the main body. The finish and hardware on this specimen, cataloged as product code 9787, are in 5/5 condition, retaining the original luster of the factory paint and the sharp detail of the black and red eye.
