Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 0 dressed (squirrel tail), 3/32oz Silver spinning lure #3926

Silver blade finish defines this classic size 0 Mepps Aglia, a staple for ultralight enthusiasts targeting trout or panfish. The 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) length and light 3/32 oz (2.5 g) weight make it an ideal choice for delicate presentations in shallow streams. Its hand-tied dressing features natural squirrel tail hair, accented by a distinct red feather tip that serves as a subtle visual trigger. Mounted on a precision-formed wire, the silver French-style blade is engineered for immediate rotation upon retrieve. This specimen arrives in its original green "Mepps Killer" carding, which includes a vintage "Save 25¢" coupon on the reverse for a Mepps Fisherman’s Guide. Identified by product code 3926, the lure is rated as condition 6, meaning it remains unused with the original luster of the silver plating and the integrity of the feathered dressing fully intact. The brass bead body provides the necessary ballast for accurate casting, reflecting the assembly standards of Sheldon’s in Wisconsin.
