Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 2 Mino, 1/3oz Rainbo spinning lure #22351

Rainbo finishes on the soft plastic minnow body provide a subtle flash that complements the holographic blade of this classic spinner. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g) and measuring 4 1/4" (11 cm), this specimen represents a clever hybrid design. Stamped clearly on the underside of the silver willow-style blade are the words "AGLIA LONG MADE IN FRANCE," noting the origin of the primary components before final assembly in the USA under product code 22351. The hardware, which sits at a 4/5 condition, remains well-preserved, featuring a brass-colored body with distinct red grooves and a vibrant red spacer bead. On the face of the blade, a prismatic sticker is marked "MEPPS 2," designed for high visibility. A treble hook is carefully positioned within the soft plastic body, which maintains its original texture and light coloration.
