Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia Long 1, 3/16oz Rainbo spinning lure #9143

A silver-toned willow leaf blade characterizes this specific 3/16oz (4.5g) spinner, which is engineered for a deeper presentation. Identified by product code 9143, this unused specimen represents the classic American production from Sheldons’ Inc. out of Antigo, Wisconsin. The lure measures 2 1/4" (6cm) and features the Rainbo color configuration, complete with a red-dressed treble hook and a weighted body assembly. The "deep runnin'" design mentioned on the card is facilitated by the slender blade shape, which offers less lift than traditional round blades. The original vintage packaging remains intact, including the illustrated guide on the reverse side that details why different blade shapes are utilized for various depths and conditions. The metal components show no signs of use, reflecting its status as an unused item.
