Museum Archive: Mepps Timber Doodle 0, 1/4oz Black / Yellow fishing spoon #6442

Weighing in at 1/4 oz (8 g), the stamped black metal body of this Mepps Timber Doodle 0 is rigged with a contrasting yellow curly-tail trailer. This 2" (5 cm) weedless specialty lure, designated by product code 6442, reflects a classic American design intended for precision casting into heavy timber or weed beds. The spoon’s unique silhouette is complemented by a single, upward-facing hook that is kept clear of snags by the soft plastic body. As an unused specimen, it remains in excellent shape, though it does display some light surface marks from long-term storage. The underside reveals the characteristic curve that allows it to flutter through the water column while the trailer adds visual movement. This size 0 model represents a smaller profile in the lineup, suitable for targeting bass or panfish in challenging environments.
