Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 0, 3/32oz Orange Fluo spinning lure #6728

Orange Fluo finish on the blade provides high visibility in stained water, especially given its fluorescent properties. Weighing 3/32 oz (2.5 g), this size 0 spinner is a precision-engineered tool for light-tackle enthusiasts. The blade is clearly stamped with the Mepps Aglia trademark and a size '0' designation. When exposed to UV light, both the blade and the small orange sleeve on the treble hook exhibit a strong glow, a technical feature specifically intended for deep or murky water where light penetration is minimal. Assembled in the USA from French components, the construction includes a solid brass bead body and a stainless steel wire shaft that terminates in a clean twist-eye. A bright orange plastic tube covers the shank of the bronze treble hook, coordinating with the primary palette of the blade. The overall length of this specimen is 1 3/4" (4.5 cm). Identified by product code 6728, this lure remains in excellent condition, meriting a 5/5 rating. The Aglia design reflects the legacy of Andre Meulnart’s 1938 French invention, with this specific fluorescent variant being a later adaptation for modern visibility needs.
