Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 0, 3/32oz Silver spinning lure #4923

Silver plating on the dimpled blade ensures high visibility for this ultra-light 3/32 oz (2.5 g) spinner. Measuring exactly 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this Mepps Aglia 0 is a quintessential example of the world-renowned design originally brought to the US by Todd Sheldon. The lure is unused, presented in its original "Mepps Killer" retail packaging which includes a period-correct "Payless" price tag. A bright red section of tubing is fitted over the shank of the treble hook, providing a stark contrast to the brass ballast beads and silver components. This specimen, identified by product code 4923, features the classic Sheldons' Inc. mail-order card back, offering vintage apparel from their Antigo, Wisconsin headquarters. The construction relies on a precise cone rotation system that allows the blade to spin freely around the wire shaft. Every component, from the clevis to the hook, remains in its original state as it left the factory.
