Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 0, 3/32oz Red / White spinning lure #4364

Striped patterns in red and white adorn the convex surface of the size 0 blade on this classic spinner. Tipping the scales at 3/32 oz (2.5 g), the hardware is built around a sturdy wire frame measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in total length. This specific specimen, identified by product code 4364, features a series of brass beads for body weight and a sharp treble hook accented by a red plastic sleeve on the shank. The lure is unused and remains sealed in its original retail packaging, which highlights its assembly in the USA. A silver-finished blade provides the canvas for the bold red stripes, a color combination designed for high visibility. Every component, from the clevis that allows the blade to rotate to the folded eyelet, reflects the standard of quality Mepps established after Sheldon began importing these from France. The original carding remains intact, displaying the classic blue, yellow, and red branding synonymous with the Antigo, Wisconsin, manufacturer.
