Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 0, 3/32oz Fluorescent Orange spinning lure #6731

Fluorescent orange paint covers the wide teardrop-shaped blade, providing high visibility for fish in low-light or stained water conditions. Weighing 3/32 oz (2.5 g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in total length, this size 0 spinner is a precision-engineered tool for technical panfish and trout angling. The specimen is unused, showing a vibrant finish on the blade and crisp stampings on the reverse side that denote its French origin. Assembled in the USA using original French components, the lure features a solid brass body and a cone rotation system that facilitates immediate blade movement upon contact with the water. A small orange sleeve is fitted over the shank of the sharp treble hook, serving as a secondary strike trigger. This particular model, designated by product code 6731, maintains the classic proportions of the design first introduced by Andre Meulnart in 1938. The golden-toned underside of the blade carries the traditional MEPPS AGLIA and MADE IN FRANCE markings, ensuring the authenticity of this French-style spinner.
