Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps 3, 1/4oz White / Red spinning lure #0715

Weighing exactly 1/4oz (7g), this classic inline spinner is a prime example of the high-quality hardware collectors look for in older tackle. The blade features a clean White / Red color pattern with the iconic script logo, and it maintains a condition rating of 5/5. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the lure is built on a sturdy wire frame with a brass body accented by recessed red rings. A bright red strike-tube is fitted over the treble hook shank, a detail designed to draw attention during a steady retrieve. This specific specimen, identified by product code 0715, represents the long-standing partnership between French manufacturing and American assembly. The French-made blade is mounted on a clevis that ensures it sits ready to spin the moment it hits the water.
