Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 1 Mino, 3/16oz Nickel / Blue spinning lure #2118

Nickel and Blue finishes harmonize beautifully on the willow-leaf blade of this classic hybrid spinner. Assembled in the USA using French-made components, this specific specimen, identified by product code 2118, represents a clever fusion of a traditional spinner and a soft-bodied baitfish imitation. The lure measures 9 cm (3 1/2") and weighs 6 g (3/16 oz), making it a versatile choice for a variety of freshwater species. Looking closer at the blade, you will find the Mepps Aglia Long stamping amidst a blue field decorated with silver dots. A vibrant orange bead acts as a focal point between the grooved brass weights and the soft plastic minnow body. Rated at 4/5, the lure is in well-preserved shape, showing only slight signs of handling that add character to its vintage aesthetic. The hardware consists of a rear treble hook and a central belly hook, both firmly seated into the minnow's textured body.
