Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 3 Dressed, 2/5oz spinning lure #19409

Bright yellow bucktail dressing paired with a distinct red accent thread defines the tail section of this 12g (2/5 oz) inline spinner. Cataloged under product code 19409, the Mepps Aglia Long 3 Dressed features a slender willow-leaf blade designed for stability in fast-moving water. The front of the blade displays a high-visibility red finish accented by black dots, while the reverse side reveals the original French patent stamping on a silver-toned surface. Resting on the wire shaft are three olive-toned beads and a single translucent orange strike-point bead, a classic configuration for this era of production. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, the assembly utilizes French-made components assembled in the USA. This specimen carries a 5/5 condition rating, showing the well-preserved state of the painted blade sticker and the hand-tied dressing.
