Weighing in at 3/16 oz (4.5 g), this size 2 spinner is built around a nickel-finished French blade featuring bold red and white horizontal stripes. The blade is stamped with the classic Mepps script and the number 2, a design that traces its roots back to Andre Meulnart’s 1938 invention in France and later popularized in the USA. Identified by product code 1082, the lure utilizes a series of brass body beads, including a grooved central weight accented with red paint to match the blade's aesthetic. A vibrant red plastic sleeve is fitted over the shank of the treble hook, serving as a specific visual attractor for the strike. The overall length reaches 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), providing a compact profile for targeting species like trout or smallmouth bass. Retaining a clean finish on the metal components and vibrant paint, the specimen is in 4/5 condition. The wire form remains straight, terminating in a tidy top loop for secure rigging.
