Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 0, 3/32oz brass spinning lure #19395

Stamped clearly on the back of the willow-style blade is the "Made in France" origin of this Mepps Aglia Long 0. Carrying the product code 19395, this specimen features a classic brass blade with a distinct diamond-textured pattern on the face, designed specifically for deep-running applications where a low-profile silhouette is preferred. At a weight of 3/32oz (3g) and measuring 2" (5cm) in total length, the lure is built on a sturdy wire frame that holds a sequence of brass beads and a single, translucent orange plastic attractor bead. While the components were manufactured in France, the final assembly of this piece took place in the USA, representing a collaborative era of production for the brand. The hardware remains in excellent shape, showing a 5/5 condition with a clean finish across the brass surfaces and a sharp treble hook. This specific size #0 is tailored for ultra-light tackle, often utilized for trout or panfish in moving water.
