A distinctive matte black blade featuring a bold yellow vertical stripe identifies this Mepps Lusox 2 as a classic piece of American manufacturing. Weighing 3/5 oz (17 g), the configuration includes a removable yellow lead head with a simple black eye, designed to reach deeper water columns. The 3 1/4" (8 cm) shaft is assembled with a series of polished brass beads and a single red accent bead, providing weight and spacing before the terminal connection. Attached at the end is a treble hook dressed with vibrant red feathers, which maintains its original volume and color. Flipping the blade reveals the authentic USA stamp and size markings, confirming the lineage of this product code 6439 specimen. The overall condition is a well-preserved 5/5, showing minimal signs of handling while keeping all components intact and functional. The high contrast between the dark blade and the bright feathered tail provides a significant visual profile.
