Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 2, 1/4oz Gold spinning lure #5703

Stamped clearly on the gold willow-leaf blade are the words "AGLIA LONG G MADE IN FRANCE," marking the European origins of this classic inline spinner. This Mepps Aglia Long 2, identified by product code 5703, tips the scales at 1/4oz (7.4g) and measures 2 3/4" (7cm) in total length. Collectors will appreciate the vibrant red accents, including the ribbed paint on the brass body, a single red bead, and a bold red sleeve protecting the shank of the treble hook. While the components were manufactured in France, this specific specimen was assembled in the USA. The narrow blade profile is technically designed to maintain a tight rotation even in heavy current or at greater depths, offering a different visual profile than the standard round-bladed Aglia. Showing in 5/5 condition, the gold finish on the blade remains bright and the hardware markings are sharp and legible.
