Stamped clearly on the silver willow-style blade, the "Mepps Lusox 1 USA" hallmark identifies this 1/3oz (10g) spinner as a versatile tool for varied water columns. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in total length, the rig is built around a heavy lead head meant for reaching greater depths, followed by a wire frame decorated with brass spacers and a single red bead. The setup is finished with a green-and-yellow curly tail worm trailer that remains supple and well-attached to the hook. Identified by Product Code 15417, this specimen reflects the quality of Mepps manufacturing in the USA, featuring a robust wire construction and a well-preserved finish on the lead component. The lure appears very well-maintained, earning a 4/5 condition rating as the soft plastic and metal hardware show minimal signs of previous time on the water. Anglers originally utilized this specific Lusox design for its ability to be fished deep near structure or converted for shallower presentations by adjusting the front weight.
