Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) from the eyelet to the base of the feathered hook, this size 1 spinner features a distinct willow-leaf blade designed for deeper or faster-moving water. The 3/16oz (4.5g) weight is evenly distributed across a brass body and a series of spacer beads, including a bright orange strike point near the shank. Cataloged as product code 8257, this Mepps Aglia Long 1 Dressed UV stands out for its silver blade accented with a fluorescent orange face that reacts vividly under ultraviolet light. The rear treble hook is meticulously dressed with brown and tan feathers, providing a naturalistic contrast to the metallic shine. Assembled in the USA using high-quality components made in France, the craftsmanship is evident in the crisp "MEPPS" stamping and the textured dimples on the blade's reverse. This specimen remains in exceptional condition, appearing unused and rating 5/5. The wire forms are straight and the feathered dressing remains full and intact.
