Museum Archive: Mepps Kriss 3, 1/4oz Gold spinning lure #3936

A 1/4 oz (7 g) weight provides the necessary heft for accurate casting with this vintage Mepps Kriss 3, a sought-after piece for any serious collector. Identified by Product Code 3936, the blade is finished in a bright gold tone with distinct red scalloped accents flanking the central brand stamp. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in total length, the construction relies on a sturdy wire frame connecting the spoon-style blade to a sharp treble hook. This specimen is unused, still mounted on its original red and white card. The back of the packaging reveals a 'Save 25¢' coupon and a detailed guide for matching Mepps sizes to specific species, highlighting this model’s effectiveness for large trout and smallmouth bass. The stamping on the metal remains crisp, clearly denoting its USA manufacturing origin.
