A substantial 3 1/4" (8 cm) profile makes this size 5 spinner, product code 8045, a heavy-hitter for large pike and muskies. Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), the weight is concentrated in the brass body and the four distinctively painted red and yellow beads. The large silver blade is adorned with a high-contrast black and white diagonal pattern, centered by the iconic number '5' and Mepps script. Flipping the blade reveals the authentic 'MADE IN FRANCE' stamp, signifying the high-quality components used in its USA assembly. The business end features a sharp treble hook protected by a classic red sleeve on the shank. Showing light signs of previous water time, the finish on the beads and the silver blade remains in 4/5 condition. The cone-style rotation system is engineered to provide a smooth spin and create the specific vibrations this model is known for.
