Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 0, 3/32oz Black / White spinning lure #7354

A vibrant red sleeve sits over the treble hook shank, acting as a classic strike point for small-stream predators. Weighing 3/32 oz (2.5 g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this size 0 Aglia relies on a pair of graduated brass beads for its compact profile. The brass blade carries a sharp black and white striped pattern, clearly displaying the Mepps logo and size designation. Assembled in the USA from components manufactured in France, the lure is built on a stiff wire frame finished with a precise hand-twist. With a condition rating of 5/5, the metal surfaces and graphic overlay are beautifully preserved. Identified by product code 7354, the design traces back to Andre Meulnart's 1938 French invention that became an American staple. The blade is attached via a folded brass clevis, ensuring it rests properly against the body beads.
