Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 0, 3/32oz copper spinning lure #22709

Weighing a precise 3/32oz (2.5g), the copper-finished blade on this specimen carries the classic "MEPPS AGLIA 0 FRENCH PAT." stamping that collectors and anglers immediately recognize. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) from the wire loop to the hook bend, this lure, product code 22709, represents the heritage of Andre Meulnart’s 1938 French design. A stack of brass beads provides the necessary ballast for casting, leading down to a sharp treble hook accented by a bright red sleeve. This particular lure was assembled in the USA using high-quality components manufactured in France. It remains in 5/5 condition, showing a clean surface on the blade and hardware. The wide-profile blade is designed to rotate around the central shaft once tension is applied, creating a steady visual and tactile presence in the water.
