Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Long Mino, 1oz Brass spinning lure #3621

Measuring 5" (13 cm), the realistic minnow profile on this specimen pairs a lifelike soft body with the classic flash of a French-made blade. The brass willow leaf blade, stamped with the iconic Mepps logo and textured with a fine diamond pattern, characterizes the Long series designed for high-resistance retrieves. Assembled in the USA using components manufactured in France, this piece carries the product code 3621 and weighs in at a substantial 1 oz (30 g). A sequence of four graduated red and yellow beads provides a striking color contrast against the natural silver and tan tones of the baitfish body. Two sharp treble hooks are integrated into the design, one at the belly and one at the tail. The lure remains in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint on the scales and fins while maintaining its original supple texture.
