Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 0 dressed (squirrel tail), 3/32oz Copper spinning lure #3907

Stamped clearly into the copper blade are the words "MADE IN FRANCE," a nod to the origins of the components for this specimen assembled in the USA. This Mepps Aglia 0 dressed (squirrel tail) weighs in at 3/32oz (2.5g) and measures 1 3/4" (4.5cm) from eyelet to hook bend. The size 0 copper blade is paired with a natural squirrel tail dressing that includes a subtle red feather accent bound with red thread. Its 5/5 condition rating is evident in the clean brass body beads and the sharp, well-maintained treble hook. Inventor Andre Meulnart’s original 1938 French design is showcased through the precise brass clevis and the cone-shaped weighting that allows the blade to respond to water resistance. Product code 3907 represents a true classic in the world of ultra-light tackle, featuring the signature squirrel and deer hair dressing that has made the Aglia a staple for targeting trout and panfish.
