Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 2, 1/4oz Silver spinning lure #14257

A textured diamond pattern catches the light across the silver willow leaf blade of this size 2 spinner. This specific Aglia Long, listed under product code 14257, weighs 1/4 oz (7.4 g) and measures a total length of 2 3/4" (7 cm). The brass body is distinctively machined with horizontal grooves filled with vibrant red paint, positioned just above a single neon orange bead that serves as a visual focal point. Down at the business end, the treble hook is sleeved in a red plastic tube, a detail often used to add a splash of color near the hook point. Assembled in the USA using components made in France, the quality is evident in the sturdy wire construction and the precision of the brass clevis. This specimen remains in excellent shape, earning a 5/5 rating for its clean surfaces and well-preserved hardware. The elongated blade design is specifically intended for fishing in faster currents or for deep-water retrieves where a lower-profile rotation is needed.
