Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Timber Doodle 0, 1/4oz Golden fishing spoon #0473

Stamped with the iconic "Mepps TIMBER DOODLE 0" branding, the polished golden finish on this 2" (5 cm) spoon remains bright and reflective. This specimen, weighing in at 1/4 oz (8 g), is the smallest size in the lineup and hails from the brand’s French manufacturing roots. Turning it over reveals the fixed single hook and a classic wire weed guard, designed to navigate through dense vegetation without snagging. Given its 4/5 condition rating, the lure shows only minor surface wear and maintains a very clean profile. Registered as product code 0473, the construction features a small eyelet on the hook shank for attaching a split-tail trailer.
