Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 0, 3/32oz silver spinning lure #19540

The distinctive silver willow-leaf blade is stamped with the classic Mepps logo and textured with a fine cross-hatch pattern. Mepps utilized components manufactured in France for final assembly in the USA for this particular specimen. Weighing in at 3/32 oz (3 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this size 0 spinner features a high-visibility orange bead positioned just above the treble hook. The central shaft carries a series of brass-toned weights and a small gold-toned spacer bead that sits just behind the clevis. On the reverse side of the blade, the AGLIA LONG branding is clearly visible alongside the MADE IN FRANCE and PAT. designations. Rated at 5/5, the lure shows an exceptionally clean finish on the metal components and the sharp hook points. This specific item is identified by Product Code 19540. The treble hook is securely attached via a wire loop, maintaining the traditional inline spinner configuration favored for light-tackle stream and lake fishing.
