Natural squirrel tail dressing, secured with a vibrant red wrap, gives this vintage spinner the organic texture that seasoned collectors look for. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7.3g) with a total length of 2 1/4" (6cm), the lure is built around a polished silver blade stamped with the classic Mepps branding. The solid brass body is detailed with deep red horizontal bands, which add a touch of visual contrast against the metallic finish. Assembled in the USA using components originally manufactured in France, this piece carries the product code 1963 and remains in 5/5 condition. Its technical design relies on a specialized clevis and cone rotation system that allows the blade to rotate freely around the wire shaft. The hand-tied squirrel hair dressing hides a treble hook, providing a lifelike profile that has been a staple in tackle boxes since the brand gained major US popularity in the 1960s.
