Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Timber Doodle 1, 2/5oz Fire Tiger fishing spoon #22159

Fire Tiger coloration transitions smoothly from a vivid lime green at the nose to a warm orange-yellow towards the tail on this French-made specimen. Identified by product code 22159, the Mepps Timber Doodle 1 utilizes a specialized weedless design intended for fishing through dense vegetation and submerged structure. The 2/5 oz (12 g) weight provides enough mass for controlled casting while the hardware remains robust. On the reverse side, the metal retains a dark, clean finish, while the topside features the classic black tiger stripes that define its pattern. A red, ribbed soft plastic trailer is rigged to shield the hook point, a hallmark feature of the series that emphasizes its utility in heavy timber. This lure is in 5/5 condition, showing a high level of preservation across the paint and the stamped branding.
