Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Timber Doodle 0, 1/4oz gold fishing spoon #19502

A stamped 'TIMBER DOODLE 0' marks the polished gold surface of this 1/4oz (8g) Mepps spoon. Measuring 2" (5cm) in length, this specimen from the USA features a bright, mirror-like finish on its solid brass body. This specific unit, identified by product code 19502, comes rigged with its original white soft plastic trailer, a classic Mister Twister split tail designed to sit over the single hook for a weedless presentation. The gold plating is exceptionally clean, reflecting light without the pitting often seen on older metal lures. The hardware, including the stout split ring at the line tie, remains in factory-fresh condition. This lure appears unused, with the white plastic trailer still supple and correctly positioned. Its design focuses on heavy cover applications where a standard spoon would snag, relying on the integrated hook-and-trailer system to navigate vegetation.
