Weighing in at a substantial 1oz (30g), this French-made spinner is engineered for serious casting distance when pursuing large predators. The Mepps Giant Killer, identified by product code 1088, spans a total length of 4 3/4" (12cm) from the eyelet to the tip of the dressing. Its primary visual draw is the willow-leaf blade, which features a gold holographic pattern stamped with the iconic brand name, while the back remains a stealthy solid black. Along the central wire, five bright red and yellow beads create a high-contrast body section leading to the heavy-duty feathered tail. This specific specimen features a thick, black-haired dressing with contrasting red accents, expertly concealing the large treble hook. Given its 5/5 condition rating, the lure remains in top-tier shape, with the original colors remaining deep and the metal components showing no signs of age or wear.
