Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 2 Rainbo, 1/4oz Red / Brass spinning lure #1786

Red holographic stickers with a prism-like 'Rainbo' finish decorate the willow-leaf blade of this Mepps Aglia Long 2 Rainbo, identified by product code 1786. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7.4g), the spinner utilizes a streamlined brass body and a series of orange and brass beads on the central shaft. The 2 3/4" (7cm) frame consists of high-quality components made in France and assembled in the USA, a hallmark of the brand's production history. Its treble hook is accented with a bright red attractor sleeve, complementing the blade's primary hue. The condition of the specimen is a well-preserved 4/5, showing only minor wear to the adhesive foil on the gold-tone blade. Stamped text on the metal clearly identifies the 'Aglia Long' model, which is built for deep-water retrieves or fast currents where a tighter rotation is desired.
