Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 1, 3/16oz spinning lure #0326

Weighing in at 3/16oz (4.5g), a textured rainbow holographic finish catches the light across the elongated silver blade of this French-made spinner. The willow-leaf blade profile, distinct for its narrow rotation, carries the Mepps name vertically and is mounted on a sturdy wire frame measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in total length. For added visual appeal, the body is constructed from several brass-toned ribbed weights and a bright, translucent orange bead. The treble hook is finished with a protective red sleeve on the shank, a classic detail for many vintage Mepps models intended to serve as a focal point for predators. Registered under product code 0326, this lure shows very light signs of use, reflecting a 4/5 condition rating with the prismatic sticker remaining vibrant and the metal components retaining their luster.
