Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 3, 1oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #14411

Measuring a hefty 3 1/2" (9 cm), this Mepps Syclops 3 is a substantial spoon built for distance and depth. This 1oz (26 g) lure, identified by product code 14411, is finished in a vibrant Fire Tiger scheme that transitions from a bright green spine to a yellow body and an orange belly, accented by five distinct black slashes. A noteworthy feature for low-light conditions is the luminescent quality of the paint, which reveals a strong glow under UV light. Assembled in the USA using components manufactured in France, the spoon includes a realistic red-centered eye and a treble hook fitted with a red attractor sleeve to focus strikes. The lure is in well-preserved condition, earning a 4/5 rating with clean surfaces and intact hardware. Its unique S-shaped profile is purpose-built for casting or trolling when targeting larger predatory species.
