At a substantial 3/5 oz (16g), the weight of this USA-manufactured spinner indicates a design built for distance and depth. Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm), the blade carries a sharp 'MEPPS See Best' stamp, identifying a model specifically engineered for enhanced visibility. While the obverse side presents a clean silver finish, the reverse side holds a secret revealed in low light: a vibrant pink glow punctuated by two neon green spots. This luminescent theme extends to the treble hook, which is outfitted with a matching pink attractor sleeve. Rated at a 5/5, the specimen is in excellent shape, with the tiered metal body and wire components showing no signs of heavy use. Collectors tracking product code 17684 will appreciate how well the specialized glow paint has stayed bonded to the metal over the decades. The clevis allows the blade to hang freely, and the overall construction reflects the sturdy craftsmanship expected from vintage Mepps lures. Every stamped letter on the silver surface is legible, making the branding a prominent feature of this rare find.
