Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 0 dressed (squirrel tail), 3/32oz Silver spinning lure #10429

A classic 'MADE IN FRANCE' stamp on the reverse of the blade signifies the deep heritage of this small spinner. Weighing in at 3/32 oz (2.5 g) with a total length of 1 3/4" (4.5 cm), this size 0 Aglia features a polished silver blade paired with traditional brass beads. The treble hook is hand-dressed with natural dark squirrel tail hair, secured by a vibrant red thread wrap at the head. On the front of the blade, the embossed 'MEPPS 0 AGLIA' text remains crisp and clear. This specimen follows the original 1938 design by Andre Meulnart, utilizing a clevis-mounted blade for immediate rotation. Showing a 5/5 condition, the silver plating is bright and the squirrel tail dressing remains full and well-preserved. The assembly represents the iconic collaboration between French engineering and American distribution, carrying product code 10429.
