Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Timber Doodle 0, 1/4oz Black / Yellow fishing spoon #2769

Black textured scaling adorns the 2" (5 cm) profile of this classic weedless spoon, produced in the USA under product code 2769. Designed for navigating through heavy vegetation, the Mepps Timber Doodle 0 features a fixed upward-facing hook engineered to deflect off timber and lily pads. This specific 1/4oz (8 g) specimen is finished in a deep black paint, providing a stark contrast to the vibrant yellow curly tail trailer attached to the hook. Examining the metal body reveals the manufacturer’s branding and model name stamped directly into the surface. The lure is well-preserved, showing only minimal signs of age and handling, earning a 4/5 condition rating. It stands as a prime example of the specialized weedless hardware Mepps developed for cover-heavy fishing environments.
