Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Timber Doodle 1, 2/5oz Gold / Black fishing spoon #6441

Stamped clearly on the gold-finished spoon is the Mepps Timber Doodle branding, identifying this weedless classic manufactured in the USA. Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, the design centers on a curved gold spoon that shields a gold-colored hook. This particular lure, product code 6441, is rigged with a black curly-tail soft plastic trailer embedded with silver glitter. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the specimen shows a well-preserved, reflective gold surface and a supple, undamaged trailer. The top of the spoon body integrates a single attachment hole for direct line tying, facilitating its utility in heavy timber or thick vegetation.
