Museum Archive: Vintage Weedless Loco 2 Glen Evans, 1/4oz Nickel fishing spoon #4890

Stamped clearly on the nickel body, the 'Glen L. Evans Loco 2' mark distinguishes this classic weedless spoon as a genuine piece of mid-century American tackle. Nickel plating gives this 1/4 oz (7 g) spoon a high-visibility flash that remains effective even in stained water, while the integrated wire weed guard is meticulously aligned to protect the hook point during presentations through heavy vegetation. Measuring exactly 2" (5.1 cm), the body features the signature teardrop shape associated with the Glen Evans line from the USA. A single hook is dressed with bright yellow feathers, secured by a red thread wrap at the base, which adds a visual trigger against the metallic shimmer. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure appears exceptionally well-preserved, with the hardware and finishes retaining their original luster. Designed for shallow applications, it is traditionally used for casting or trolling at depths up to 3 ft (1 m), particularly in still-water environments where its weedless design prevents snagging.
