Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 0, 3/32oz Silver spinning lure #11761

A silver-plated blade with "Made in France" stamping identifies this Mepps Aglia 0 as a true original French spinner. At a weight of 3/32 oz (2.5 g) and a length of 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this size 0 model serves as a precision tool for light-line trout and panfish angling. The lure features a distinct red plastic tubing over the treble hook shank, providing a visual trigger for trailing fish. Identified by product code 11761, the hardware consists of a gold-colored bead body and a clevis-mounted blade designed for quick rotation upon retrieval. This specimen is unused, still attached to its classic red and white cardboard backing. The French-manufactured blade reflects the engineering legacy of Andre Meulnart, whose designs established the global standard for inline spinners.
