Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps syclops 3, 1oz Tiger / Brass fishing spoon #0997

A vibrant Tiger pattern defines the face of this 3 1/2" (9cm) spoon, transitioning through shades of lime green, bright yellow, and deep orange. The Mepps Syclops 3, carrying Product Code 0997, features ten distinct black crescent marks along its S-shaped body, framing a bold red eye near the nose. Flipping it over reveals a polished brass back stamped with the manufacturer's name and its French origin. Weighing in at 1oz (26g), the heavy-gauge metal construction is paired with a split-ringed treble hook that includes a signature fluorescent red tube on the shank. This particular specimen is in top condition, rated at 5/5, with the paint and brass finish remaining exceptionally clean and bright.
