Golden glitter highlights the reflective sticker applied to the silver willow-leaf blade of this Mepps Aglia Long 1 Lightnin. Weighing 3/16 oz (4.5 g), the lure is built with a brass-colored segmented body and a single translucent red bead to provide a visual focal point. On the reverse side, the blade carries the 'MADE IN FRANCE' stamp alongside the 'AGLIA LONG' designation, while the face features the distinct 'Lightnin' lightning bolt branding. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), this piece was assembled in the USA using quality French components and carries product code 7978. A vibrant yellow feathered treble hook is secured to the wire frame, matching the bright aesthetic of the glittered blade insert. The condition is exceptional, presenting a clean and well-maintained appearance that reflects its 5/5 rating. This willow-style design allows the lure to cut through water more efficiently for deeper retrieval depths in various current conditions.
