Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 0 , 3/32oz Rainbo spinning lure #19582

Stamped clearly on the reverse of the willow-leaf blade, the 'Made in France' mark identifies the origin of this specimen’s core components. Sized at a delicate 2" (5 cm) and weighing in at 3/32 oz (3 g), the Mepps Aglia Long 0 (Product Code 19582) features a faceted holographic sticker known as the Rainbo finish. This light-catching surface is applied to a silver-tone blade, which rotates on a classic brass clevis. The body construction includes a solid brass bead followed by a translucent red bead, adding a distinct focal point above the bronze-finished treble hook. This specific unit, part of the 19582 series, was assembled in the USA using French-made parts. The condition is rated at a superb 5/5, with all hardware showing exceptional preservation and the prism sticker retaining its full reflective properties. The wire shaft is perfectly straight, terminating in a clean R-bend for easy line attachment.
