A distinct silver-plated blade carries the bold red 'Mepps MUSKY KILLER' stamp, marking this as a classic heavy-hitter for big game hunters. On the reverse side, the 'MEPPS AGLIA MADE IN FRANCE' engraving confirms the European origin of the components, while the final assembly was completed in the USA. Measuring 4" (10 cm) and weighing a solid 3/5 oz (16 g), the lure is built around a weighted brass body detailed with red-painted grooves. Substantial hand-tied brown bucktail serves as the main trailer, subtly accented with red feathers to provide extra visual contrast near the heavy-duty treble hook. This specimen, identified by product code 15444, is rated at 4/5 and shows light surface marks from careful storage while maintaining its structural integrity.
