Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 1Dressed, 3/16oz spinning lure #22468

Featuring a willow-leaf blade stamped with the size 1 designation, this vintage spinner showcases the classic geometry that separates the Aglia Long from standard round-blade designs. The 3/16 oz (4.5 g) body is constructed with a ribbed brass sleeve and a vibrant orange bead, providing a balanced weight for its 2 1/4" (6 cm) total length. While the individual components were manufactured in France, the assembly was completed in the USA, reflecting the long-standing international partnership behind the brand. The silver blade surface features a hammered, prism-like texture designed to maximize light reflection during a steady retrieve. A hand-tied dressing of black hair is secured to the treble hook with a bright red wrap, which serves as a subtle focal point. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved metal surfaces and clean dressing. Collectors can identify this specific dressed configuration by product code 22468.
