Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 0, 3/32oz Gold spinning lure #5450

Gold hues on the teardrop-shaped blade define this Mepps Aglia 0, a classic choice for ultra-light enthusiasts targeting trout and panfish. This specific lure, identified by product code 5450, is a clean specimen weighing in at 3/32oz (2.5g) with a total length of 1 3/4" (4.5cm). The construction features a solid brass body and a gold-plated blade that reflects the high-quality manufacturing Mepps has maintained since its early French origins under Andre Meulnart. Attached to the treble hook is a small red tube, a simple but effective visual trigger that has been a brand hallmark for decades. This specimen is unused, still secured to its original white-and-green "Mepps Killer" display card. Turning the card over reveals a charming piece of fishing history: a vintage order form for Mepps-branded apparel, including fishing caps and t-shirts. The card itself remains crisp, with the original pricing ink still visible near the top punch-hole.
