Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long 4 Dressed (Bucktail ), 3/5oz silver spinning lure #19403

A slender, silver willow-leaf blade stamped 'MADE IN FRANCE' defines the profile of this classic inline spinner. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) and weighing 3/5oz (17g), this specimen carries the size 4 designation, making it a substantial choice for deep-running retrieves. The silver blade features a textured pattern on the convex side and a clear 'AGLIA LONG' engraving on the reverse, reflecting its components' French heritage before being assembled in the USA. Three segmented beads in a vibrant yellow and orange gradient form the weighted body, leading down to a dressed treble hook. The dressing consists of thick black bucktail accented by bright red feathers for a high-contrast visual profile. The condition is 5/5, with exceptionally clean metalwork and intact tail fibers across the 19403 product code assembly. A heavy-duty clevis keeps the blade rotating close to the wire shaft for a streamlined presentation.
