Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 4, 3/5oz Brass / Orange spinning lure #1825

A vibrant salmon-orange blade finish with bold black polka dots characterizes this specific specimen, which belongs to the esteemed willow-leaf series designed for deep-water resistance. Weighing in at 3/5 oz (17 g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, the Mepps Aglia Long 4 features a brass-toned metal blade stamped with the iconic French-inspired lettering. The body assembly includes three luminous orange beads and a heavy brass weight, leading down to a sharp treble hook shielded by a bright red sleeve. Assembled in the USA using components manufactured in France, this lure carries Product Code 1825. The willow blade shape is technically engineered for a tighter rotation angle than the standard Aglia, suited for fishing in heavier currents or deeper retrieves. The hardware remains bright and well-preserved, earning this piece a condition rating of 4/5.
