Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Lusox 0, 1/4oz Gold spinning lure #4111

Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this classic spinner features the iconic French-made components assembled in the USA. The gold-finished blade is prominently stamped with the Mepps Lusox 0 name and carries a distinct scale texture on its outer face. A yellow lead weight with a black target-style eye provides the forward ballast on the wire shaft, which measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) in total length. Below the blade, the construction includes a series of brass spacers and a vibrant red plastic bead for a localized splash of color. The treble hook is finished with a yellow plastic sleeve, matching the bright aesthetic of the lead head. In a condition of 4/5, the lure shows gentle signs of its journey through fishing history while remaining a solid specimen of product code 4111. The wire loop at the top is securely twisted, reflecting the reliable craftsmanship characteristic of the brand's production during this era.
