Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 3, 1oz fishing spoon #19389

Weighing in at 1oz (26g), the stamped metal body of this lure reflects a long tradition of French manufacturing. This Mepps Syclops 3 features a clean white base coat on its front side, accented by five bold red crescent shapes and a prominent red eye with a black pupil. The signature script "Mepps Syclops 3" is printed clearly in black along the center. Flipping the 3 1/2" (9cm) spoon over reveals a polished silver reverse, deeply stamped with "S Mepps Syclops 3 26g MADE IN FRANCE," confirming its European origin. Cataloged under product code 19389, the hardware includes a robust silver treble hook secured by a sturdy split ring. With a condition rating of 5/5, the finish is immaculate, and the stamped lettering on the back remains sharp and legible. The distinctive S-shaped curvature of the metal provides a unique profile for casting or trolling, making it a staple for anglers targeting larger predators.
