Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 4, 3/5oz Fluorescent Orange / Brass spinning lure #1756

A vibrant fluorescent orange finish coats the long, willow-leaf blade of this size 4 spinner, creating a high-visibility profile even in stained water. This specific specimen, product code 1756, is built on a sturdy wire frame measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length. Four silver-finished beads provide the necessary ballast for the 3/5 oz (17 g) weight, a design hallmark resulting from Mepps' history of using high-quality French components assembled in the USA. A bright orange-red tubing is fitted over the shank of the treble hook, serving as a strike point that matches the textured pattern on the blade face. The blade itself is clearly stamped with the Mepps Aglia Long branding and size designation. This lure is in 5/5 condition, showing a pristine finish on the painted surfaces and bright, clean metal hardware across the entire assembly.
