Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long Lightning 1, 3/16oz Nickel spinning lure #16360

Nickel plating on the elongated willow blade provides a classic flash that inline spinner enthusiasts recognize instantly. This Mepps Aglia Long Lightning 1, carrying product code 16360, features a high-contrast yellow sticker with black "LIGHTNIN" text and a sharp lightning bolt graphic. At a weight of 3/16 oz (4.5 g), the construction utilizes a series of brass beads leading to a central weight body marked with three red recessed stripes. An orange plastic bead sits above the treble hook, which is outfitted with a sleeve of orange plastic tubing. Every component on this 5/5 condition specimen remains clean, from the precision-bent wire eyelet to the sharp points of the treble hook. The elongated blade design is engineered for lower water resistance during the retrieve compared to standard Aglia models.
