Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 4, 3/5oz Nickel spinning lure #2606

Textured with a distinctive diamond-hatch pattern, the nickel willow leaf blade defines the visual profile of this classic spinner. Stamped clearly with "Mepps Aglia Long 4" and "Made in France," this 3/5 oz (17 g) lure represents the historical synergy between French component engineering and American assembly. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.2 cm) in total length, the specimen features a body composed of four stacked beads in vibrant orange and yellow-orange hues, leading down to a treble hook equipped with a signature red attractor sleeve. This specific item, identified by product code 2606, maintains a clean finish on the metal surfaces and is in 4/5 condition, showing only minimal signs of age-appropriate wear. The elongated blade shape is technically designed for deep-water retrieves or faster currents where a lower rotation angle is necessary to maintain depth. The brass hardware and wire wrap remain secure, reflecting the durable construction standards associated with these French-made components.
