Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 0 Dressed, 3/32oz Silver spinning lure #17914

Stamped clearly on the underside of the blade are the words "AGLIA MADE IN FRANCE," a hallmark of the quality Mepps established early on. Product code 17914 designates this specific spinner, which features a textured silver blade measuring approximately 2" (5.1 cm) in total length. The 3/32 oz (2.6 g) weight is centered around a red plastic bead and a solid metal body, providing the necessary mass for casting on ultra-light gear. A hand-dressed treble hook adds a significant visual element, combining yellow and darker natural feathers tied with a vibrant red accent. Its condition is 5/5, with the wire shaft remaining straight and the hardware showing no signs of wear. Components for this lure originated in France and were assembled in the USA, representing a classic era of international tackle production. The top loop is neatly finished, maintaining a secure connection point for fine-diameter fishing lines.
