Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 0 Dressed, 3/32oz spinning lure #22541

Silver-plated and stamped with the classic 'BRITISH FRENCH PAT.' mark, the blade on this specimen immediately identifies it as a piece of mid-century angling history. Weighing in at a delicate 3/32oz (2.5g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in total length, this size 0 spinner is intended for ultralight applications where finesse is required. The components, manufactured in France and assembled in the USA under product code 22541, include a series of brass-toned body beads and a black squirrel hair dressed treble hook. A vibrant red thread wrap secures the dressing, providing a subtle visual trigger against the dark fur. The reverse side of the blade features the crisp 'MADE IN FRANCE' engraving, showcasing the clear manufacturing standards of the period. This Mepps Aglia 0 Dressed is in 5/5 condition, maintaining clean metal surfaces and well-preserved natural hair on the hook.
