Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Giant Killer, 1oz Silver spinning lure #4109

Measuring 4 3/4" (12cm) in total length, this heavy-duty inline spinner features a substantial willow-leaf blade stamped with the distinctive Mepps Giant Killer branding and graphic. Weighing in at 1oz (30g), this specific specimen (Product Code 4109) is preserved in 5/5 condition, maintaining a bright finish on its silver-plated components. The lure's body consists of five segmented red and yellow beads, providing a bold visual contrast against the silver blade. French-made components assembled in the USA form the core of this tackle, including a sturdy wire shaft and a brass-toned clevis. At the business end, a large treble hook is sleeved in red tubing, which serves as a visible target point over the hook shank. The reverse side of the blade remains plain silver, reflecting the quality of the materials used in this vintage build.
