Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Weed Master, 3/5oz spinning lure #23441

Firetiger-inspired hues of green, yellow, and orange decorate the blade of this vintage spinner. Known as the Mepps Weed Master, this specimen measures 4" (10 cm) and features a distinct crescent moon pattern stamped alongside the manufacturer's name. Weighing in at 3/5 oz (17 g), the lure is built on a sturdy wire frame carrying a sequence of four large black beads, though the reverse side shows these finished in a high-visibility fluorescent yellow. At the rear, a dual-tone soft plastic skirt in olive green and glittered yellow transitions into trailing legs designed for navigation through dense cover. Identified by product code 23441, the overall condition is rated a solid 4/5, showing light signs of use that add to its authentic character. The underside of the blade reveals the natural, unpainted brass finish characteristic of older American-made Mepps production.
