Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 0 UV, 3/32oz Nickel / Orange spinning lure #3984

Stamped with the iconic "Made in France Pat." mark on the reverse of the nickel-plated willow leaf blade, this specimen represents a classic piece of hardware from the Mepps lineup. Weighing 3/32 oz (2.6 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the Aglia Long 0 UV (Product Code 3984) is built around a sturdy wire frame featuring two brass-toned beads and a single fluorescent orange bead. The blade’s face is finished in a bright orange with a black dot pattern, engineered to glow under UV light for increased visibility in deep or stained water. Assembled in the USA using French components, the lure retains its sharp bronze treble hook and original luster. The condition is rated 5/5, showing crisp lettering and no visible wear to the painted surface or the polished metal finish.
