Vibrant orange hues define this heavy-bodied spinner, which carries a 3/4 oz (21 g) weight specifically balanced for distance casting in moving water. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in total length, the lure features a matching orange latex tail sleeve that protects the shank of a stout treble hook. The blade is stamped with the Mepps Flying C insignia, reflecting a legacy of French components that were later assembled in the USA. This specimen is presented in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright, saturated finish on both the metal blade and the soft-body sleeve. Collectors tracking Product Code 14407 will recognize the specific tapered profile designed to reach deep-water holding zones for salmon and steelhead. The assembly features brass-colored spacers and a wire-wrap eyelet that traces back to the 1938 French designs of Andre Meulnart. A subtle dark banding appears near the top of the orange body sleeve, adding a touch of visual depth to the lure's profile.
