Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Walley Killer Spinnerbait, 3/4oz silver/chartreuse spinning lure #23577

Chartreuse and silver tones define the visual profile of this 4 1/4" (11cm) spinnerbait. Stamped clearly on the silver willow blade are the words "MEPPS WALLEYE KILLER U.S.A.", documenting its specific model and American manufacturing. This specimen, tracked under Product Code 23577, weighs in at 3/4oz (21g). Its lead head is carefully molded into a minnow shape, finished in a bright chartreuse with dark speckled accents and a painted eye. Positioned along the wire before the single gold-tone hook, three translucent green beads provide a subtle color transition. In terms of its current state, the lure is rated 5/5, displaying a very clean appearance across its painted head and polished blade.
