Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia Long 3 Mino, 3/5oz Red Rainbo spinning lure #7714

Measuring a substantial 5" (13 cm), the profile of this vintage specimen is anchored by a soft plastic minnow body that provides a realistic silhouette behind the classic spinner assembly. Identified by product code 7714, the Mepps Aglia Long 3 Mino is a testament to the brand's versatility in combining traditional blade mechanics with soft lure textures. A weight of 3/5 oz (17 g) facilitates reaching target depths while maintaining stability during the retrieve. The Aglia Long blade, stamped with size 3, features the Red Rainbo color scheme—a deep red finish accented by bold white branding. Assembled in the USA, the construction utilizes a series of graduated orange and yellow beads that serve as a strike point just above the minnow section. This lure is unused, preserved in its original green and white cardboard packaging, which still displays a vintage 25-cent savings coupon on the reverse side.
