Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 1 Dressed, 3/16oz Silver spinning lure #4834

A distinct diamond-patterned texture covers the silver willow-leaf blade, a hallmark of the Mepps Aglia Long series designed for high-vibration retrieves in moving water. Weighing 3/16 oz (4.5 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), this size 1 lure features the classic French-made components assembled in the USA. The blade is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's name and its French origin, providing a high-contrast flash against the silver finish. Behind the clevis, the weighted body consists of brass-colored segments separated by bright red paint, leading down to a single red bead. The terminal end is equipped with a treble hook dressed in thick, hand-tied black feathers that add a significant silhouette profile. Assigned product code 4834, the lure remains in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved hardware and clean, vibrant colors on the body segments. The narrow blade design is specifically engineered to stay deep in the water column even against strong currents.
