Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 2 Mino , 1/3oz rinbo spinning lure #23309

Weighing exactly 1/3 oz (9 g), this setup pairs a silver willow-leaf blade with a realistic vinyl minnow trailer. The rinbo color scheme presents a cool blue gradient along the spine that fades into a shimmering silver underbelly. Stamped clearly on the silver blade are the Mepps Aglia Long 2 markings and the "Made in France" origin, noting the source of the components before they were assembled in the USA. Measuring 4 1/4" (11 cm) in total length, the internal construction features a series of stacked brass weights and a single high-visibility orange bead just above the trailer. This particular piece, identified by product code 23309, is in 5/5 condition, maintaining the suppleness of the plastic and the luster of the metal components. Two hooks are strategically placed within the minnow body: a single hook emerging from the side and a rear treble at the tail, both connected via a heavy-duty wire harness. This configuration is designed for casting into varied depths where the combination of metallic flash and a soft-bodied profile mimics natural prey.
