Displaying a vibrant Fire Tiger gradient on the blade, this 3/32oz (2.5g) spinner is a classic example of French engineering meeting American assembly. The size 0 Aglia blade features black tiger stripes and crisp lettering identifying the model and size, reflecting the quality standard Andre Meulnart established in France before these lures became a staple in Wisconsin tackle boxes. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the hardware is built around a solid brass-colored bead body that provides the necessary ballast for such a delicate profile. The hook is dressed with a dense tuft of cream-colored squirrel hair, finished with a distinct red accent at the tip for added visual contrast. This specific item, identified by product code 1781, maintains a 5/5 condition rating. Every component, from the clevis that allows the blade to rotate freely around the wire to the dark-finished treble hook, shows the meticulous attention to detail Mepps is known for. The Fire Tiger finish transitions smoothly from a bright chartreuse green to a deep orange-red on the trailing edge of the blade.
