Stamped clearly into the brass blade are the markings "AGLIA" and "BRITISH PATENT," indicating the storied European origins of this size 0 spinner. Identified by product code 1141, the lure weighs a nimble 1/16 oz (2.2 g) and has an overall length of 1 1/2" (4 cm). This specimen features a classic brass finish on both the blade and the weighted beads that populate the central wire shaft. A vibrant red sleeve is fitted over the shank of the treble hook, a design choice intended to focus a fish's attention on the business end of the hardware. The components were manufactured in France, as shown by the "BREVETE" and "MADE IN FRANCE" stamps, though the final assembly took place in the USA. Rated in 5/5 condition, this lure is unused and remains in pristine state for either the display case or the light-tackle vest. The blade is attached via a simple brass clevis, engineered to rotate freely around the shaft during a steady retrieve.
