Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 3 Dressed, 2/5oz Brass spinning lure #7562

Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in total length, this Mepps Aglia Long 3 Dressed features the distinctive willow-leaf blade shape synonymous with the manufacturer’s "Long" series. Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (12 g), the brass blade showcases a textured, cross-hatched pattern on one side and classic brand stampings on the reverse. The central body is constructed with a series of graduated beads in vibrant orange and yellow hues, leading down to a dressed treble hook. This specimen, bearing product code 7562, is finished with a dense black hair tail that includes a subtle red accent at the binding. The condition is rated 5/5, as the brass hardware remains bright and the feathered dressing is fully intact and well-preserved. This specific blade design is intended for deep-running retrieves and heavy current where a low-drag profile is necessary to maintain depth.
