A vibrant cluster of red feathers dresses the treble hook of this specimen, marking it as a classic feathered variant of a legendary spinner design. The willow-leaf blade, characteristic of the Long series, features a deep red face stamped with the size 2 designation, while the gold-tone reverse proudly displays the "Made in France" hallmark. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7.3g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the lure's architecture is built around a sturdy wire shaft. This shaft carries a series of brass body segments, including a distinctive fluted weight and ribbed cylinders, followed by a high-visibility orange bead. These metal components and the painted blade surface are exceptionally well-kept, earning an easy 5/5 rating for their preservation. Cataloged as product code 8258, this spinner was assembled in the USA using these high-quality French components. The combination of the gold-hued brass and the red accents provides a high-contrast profile that highlights the craftsmanship of the original hardware.
