Gold plating on the blade of this size 0 Aglia catches the light just as it would have decades ago when it first left the factory. Weighing 3/32 oz (2.5 g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, this specimen features the iconic French spinner blade stamped with the Mepps hallmark. The assembly includes a solid brass body bead and a treble hook dressed with a short length of red tubing, a classic design choice intended to focus a predator's attention on the hook. Finding such a piece in its original green and white Mepps Killer packaging is a treat for a collector; this lure (Product Code 4659) is unused and remains in excellent condition. The vintage carding even retains the mail-order coupon on the back for Mepps apparel, reflecting the brand's significant presence in the USA market. Every component, from the brass hardware to the precisely bent wire, showcases the simple but effective manufacturing that made these lures a staple for trout and panfish anglers.
