Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Timber Doodle 1, 2/5oz fishing spoon #15164

Gold plating covers the entire surface of this 2/5oz (12g) weedless spoon, reflecting the quality typical of USA-made Mepps tackle. Stamped clearly into the metal is the "Mepps Timber Doodle" name, identifying this piece as product code 15164. A yellow ribbed curly-tail trailer is rigged onto the single hook, which is protected by a thin wire weed guard designed for fishing through heavy cover. At 2 1/4" (6cm) long, the lure is in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use on either the metal body or the soft plastic component. The spoon’s underside features a subtle scale pattern, adding a touch of texture to the polished finish.
