Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 4 bucktail, 3/5oz spinning lure #16358

Arranged along the central wire, a series of graduated brass beads provides the 3/5oz (17g) weight necessary for stable retrieves. This Mepps Aglia Long 4 bucktail utilizes a willow-leaf blade with a hammered silver texture, designed to rotate at a tight angle to the shaft. At the tail end, a bright yellow dressing is cinched with a red spacer, creating a high-contrast profile that stands out in various water conditions. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the lure shows a clean finish on the metal components and a full, well-preserved bucktail. Identified by product code 16358, the specimen features the iconic Mepps stamping clearly visible on the front of the blade.
