Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps 4 Aglia Long Mino, 3/4oz Brass / Red spinning lure #1100

Weighing in at 3/4 oz (22 g), the Mepps 4 Aglia Long Mino utilizes a willow-leaf style blade to maximize flash through the water column. This specific model, measuring 5 1/2" (14 cm), features a brass blade with a vibrant red finish on the front, accented by black speckles. On the reverse, the blade carries the traditional Mepps stamping, indicating it was assembled in the USA using components manufactured in France. The soft-plastic minnow body is finished in a realistic grey and silver scale pattern with subtle orange highlights near the head, rigged with two durable treble hooks located at the belly and tail. Identified by product code 1100, the lure remains in excellent condition with a 4/5 rating, showing only minor signs of handling on the painted surfaces and soft-body trailer. The combination of the heavy brass beads and the elongated blade makes this a substantial choice for anglers looking to reach deeper targets with a classic spinner profile.
