Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 0, 3/32oz Red / Bronze (Brass) spinning lure #14224

Featuring a distinct red scale pattern sticker on its slender brass blade, this Mepps Aglia Long 0 represents a crossover period for the brand, with components manufactured in France and the final lure assembled in the USA. Anglers often look for the 'AGLIA LONG 0' and 'MADE IN FRANCE' stampings on the reverse of the blade, which are crisp and clear on this specimen. The lure weighs in at a delicate 3/32oz (3g) and spans a total length of 2" (5cm). Its construction features a central brass body, a signature red bead for a focal point, and a sharp treble hook that remains in excellent shape. Bearing the product code 14224, the lure showcases the classic willow-leaf blade design intended for deep or fast-water casting where low water resistance is preferred. The red / bronze (brass) color combination is well-preserved, and the overall condition is a solid 5/5, showing the care taken over the years. The wire form is straight, terminating in a tidy top loop for line attachment.
