Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps timber Doodle 00, 1/8oz Silver fishing spoon #10523

Stamping on the silver-finished body clearly identifies this piece as a Mepps Timber Doodle in the 00 size, weighing 1/8 oz (4 g). This specific specimen, bearing product code 10523, maintains a 5/5 condition with a bright, reflective surface across its 1 1/2" (4 cm) length. Manufactured in the USA, the lure features a distinctive weedless configuration centered around a single upward-facing hook. A cream-colored, ribbed soft plastic trailer with subtle dark flecks is rigged to the hook, extending the overall profile. The metal body is contoured to provide a stable platform for the trailer while navigating through aquatic vegetation. You’ll find the manufacturer's name and the specific "Timber Doodle" branding deeply engraved into the metal, a hallmark of Mepps’ production quality. The connection point at the head is a clean, drilled eyelet meant for direct line attachment or a small snap.
