Museum Archive: Mepps Killer Kit, Pink spinning lure #2266

Pink dominates the palette of this curated selection, specifically designed for targeting pink salmon as highlighted by the "Humpie Kit" branding on the label. This Mepps Killer Kit, identified by product code 2266, remains in an unused state within its original plastic-wrapped presentation box. The assortment provides a versatile mix of hardware, featuring three Aglia spinners and three Syclops spoons. Among the spinners, there is a size #3, a size #4 dressed with a white bucktail, and a heavy-hitting size #5. The spoon selection includes two Syclops #1 models weighing 12 g (0.42 oz) at a length of 6 cm (2.36 in), and a single Syclops #0 weighing 8 g (0.28 oz) with a length of 5 cm (1.97 in). Assembled in the USA, the kit is housed in a clear-top tackle box with a textured black base, displaying the classic Mepps logo and the necessary California Proposition 65 warnings on the reverse. Every lure in the set features high-contrast black stripes over the fluorescent pink finish to maximize visibility in various water conditions.
