Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Syclops 3, 1oz Rainbow Trout / Silver fishing spoon #1947

Stamped on the reverse with its French origin, the 1oz (26g) body of this Mepps Syclops 3 showcases a classic 'S' profile for deep-column casting. The Rainbow Trout / Silver color scheme on the outer surface transitions from a pink lateral line to a blue-speckled top, all set against a reflective silver base with a single prominent eye decal near the nose. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, the spoon features clear engravings on the concave side indicating its 26g mass and model name. A durable treble hook is attached via a heavy-duty split ring and includes a signature red-orange attractor tube over the shank. This piece, carrying product code 1947, is preserved in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean finish across its metallic surfaces and original hardware.
