Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 2 Dressed, 1/4oz Silver spinning lure #3349

A 1/4oz (7.3g) weight makes this Mepps Aglia Long 2 Dressed a versatile choice for casting into deeper runs. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the lure features the iconic willow-leaf blade design in a silver finish with a textured cross-hatch pattern on the underside. This specific model, product code 3349, is built with components manufactured in France and assembled in the USA. The body assembly consists of ribbed brass segments with red paint nested in the grooves, separated by a bright orange bead and a brass cone spacer. For its dressing, the treble hook is shrouded in dark squirrel tail hair and accented with a small red plastic trailer strip. Held in 4/5 condition, the metal components show light surface markings consistent with age, while the feathered tail remains full and well-bound to the wire shaft.
