Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 2, 1/4oz Nickel spinning lure #3981

A weight of 1/4oz (7.4g) is distributed through a ribbed brass body, where deep red paint accents the grooves for visual contrast. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) from the line tie to the hook bend, this Mepps Aglia Long 2 features high-quality components manufactured in France and assembled in the USA. The elongated willow-leaf blade is finished in bright nickel and carries a crisp stamp identifying its origin and model size. Collectors documenting product code 3981 will appreciate the preservation of the original hardware, including the translucent red bead situated above the hook eye. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing clean metal surfaces and a straight wire shaft. The bronze-finished treble hook remains factory-sharp and is equipped with a classic red attractor sleeve on the shank.
