Weighing in at a substantial 1oz (30g), this spinner represents a heavyweight option in the legendary Mepps lineup. The oversized willow-leaf blade is stamped with the 'MEPPS GIANT KILLER' moniker and features a bright red painted center against a classic silver finish. Product code 22328 designates this specific variant, which measures 4 3/4" (12cm) from the top eyelet to the end of the dressing. Five painted beads in a mottled yellow and green pattern provide the central ballast on the wire shaft. A dense, vibrant red hair dressing conceals the treble hook, significantly increasing the visual profile. The condition is a solid 4/5, as the silver plating on the blade retains its shine and the red accents are well-preserved. Reflecting its transatlantic heritage, the lure's components were manufactured in France and finalized with assembly in the USA.
