Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 0, 3/32oz Gold spinning lure #5825

Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in total length, the compact profile of this spinner highlights its classic design for ultra-light angling. Presented in its original green card packaging, the lure is unused and remains exactly as it left the Antigo, Wisconsin facility decades ago. The gold blade is stamped with the Aglia name and sits above a solid brass body bead that provides the 3/32oz (2.5g) weight for balanced casting. A small treble hook is fitted with a vibrant red sleeve, a detail meant to provide a strike point for species like trout or panfish. This specific model, identified by product code 5825, represents the 1970s era of Mepps production in the USA. The cardboard backing still displays the 'Special Save 25¢' coupon for the brand's fisherman's guide, reflecting a nostalgic piece of fishing history.
