Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Timber Doodle 1, 2/5oz fishing spoon #13838

Stamped clearly on the metal body with its model name, this 2/5 oz (12 g) spoon features a striking fluorescent gradient transitioning from deep orange through yellow to lime green. This Mepps Timber Doodle 1, carrying product code 13838, measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and presents in excellent condition with a 5/5 rating. Under UV light, the finish exhibits a powerful glow, which significantly shifts the visual profile for deep or stained water. The lure is rigged with its signature single hook and a translucent brown curly-tail trailer, a hallmark of this American-made weedless design. The construction focuses on navigating heavy vegetation where the spoon's curved shape provides the primary attraction.
