Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7 g), this classic inline spinner setup highlights the historical collaboration between French components and American assembly. The silver blade features a textured holographic sticker designed to catch light, stamped clearly with the Mepps name. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, the assembly pairs a traditional spinner blade with a realistic soft plastic minnow body. A vibrant red bead provides a focal point near the front of the baitfish profile, followed by a series of ribbed black spacers. The soft minnow is rigged with a treble hook at the tail and an internal hook to maintain its shape. Carrying product code 8483, this specimen remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5, showing the clean integrity of the soft body and the shine of the hardware. The blade's reverse side reveals the quality of the French-made components, a hallmark of the brand's production during this era.
