Vibrant green and hot pink accents define the high-visibility finish on this 3 1/2" (9 cm) lure. Stamped clearly on the reverse of the silver blade is the 'MEPPS See Best 6' designation, identifying its large profile meant for substantial predators. A weighted, tiered brass body provides the 3/5 oz (16 g) mass needed for long-distance casting while maintaining stability. Collectors of Mepps will appreciate the specific green tubing guarding the treble hook shank, a detail that matches the blade's neon sticker. Identified by product code 17978, the specimen displays a remarkably well-preserved finish, maintaining a rating of 5/5. The silver plating on the blade remains bright, contrasting sharply with the fluorescent dots designed for low-light or stained water conditions.
