Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 2 Lightnin Mouche, 3/16oz silver/green spinning lure #19515

Weighing in at 3/16oz (4.5g), this spinner features the slender willow leaf blade profile that defines the Aglia Long design. A textured silver blade serves as the base for a high-visibility yellow-green reflective sticker on the front, complete with the 'Mepps LIGHTNIN' text and a black lightning bolt graphic. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) from eyelet to hook, the construction includes a solid brass body with a ribbed center section and a small brass spacer. A bright orange-red bead sits just above the hand-tied yellow mouche on the treble hook, providing a focused point of contrast. Stamped on the back of the blade are the 'MADE IN FRANCE' and 'AGLIA LONG' marks, indicating the French origin of the components for this USA-assembled lure. This specimen, bearing product code 19515, is in 5/5 condition with sharp stampings and vibrant colors throughout the dressing and blade face.
