Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Elix, 1/8oz Silver spinning lure #0713

Stamped with the "MADE IN FRANCE" mark on the underside of its blade, this specimen reflects the mid-century craftsmanship associated with the early European production of the Mepps brand. Weighing in at 1/8oz (4g), this Mepps Elix is a rare find for collectors and ultra-light anglers, especially considering the model is no longer in production. The lure measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length and features a clean silver finish across the teardrop-shaped blade and the weighted body. The blade is embossed with Mepps and Elix lettering, which remains sharp and legible. Identified by product code 0713, this spinner is equipped with a classic treble hook and presents in a condition of 5/5. The wire shaft and hardware show no signs of use, retaining the bright silver luster throughout.
