Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 1, 3/16oz Blue / Silver spinning lure #14142

A willow leaf blade with a size 1 stamp defines the profile of this 3/16oz (4.5g) spinner. The silver-rimmed blade displays a striking blue finish accented by white dots and clear stampings of 'MEPPS AGLIA LONG'. Its construction reflects a French-American heritage, utilizing components manufactured in France and assembled in the USA. A solid brass body with machined grooves is paired with a single red bead, leading down to a sharp treble hook protected by a segment of red tubing. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in total length, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining the original vibrance of its colors and the integrity of its metallic surfaces. The Aglia Long design is tailored for fishing in faster currents or deeper water compared to standard round-bladed models, as the narrower blade maintains a tighter rotation near the shaft. This specific Product Code 14142 item stands out for its well-preserved hardware and classic color configuration.
