Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Lusox 2, 3/5oz Yellow spinning lure #0328

A distinctive hammered gold-finish blade identifies this size 2 spinner as a classic piece of French tackle engineering. This Mepps Lusox 2, identified by product code 0328, utilizes a modular design with a removable 3/5oz (17g) weighted lead head painted in a vibrant yellow with a simple black eye detail. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, the lure is assembled on a sturdy wire frame featuring a series of brass beads and a single high-visibility orange accent. The tail end is equipped with a treble hook dressed in thick yellow and black feathers, providing a significant visual profile. Rated at 4/5, the lure is well-preserved, with the "MEPPS LUSOX 2" stamping remaining sharp and legible against the yellow-painted section of the blade. The French craftsmanship is evident in the assembly, which includes a long wire leader section for direct attachment. This Lusox configuration is technically balanced to facilitate blade rotation even during a vertical sink.
