Stamped with 'British Patent Brevete France' on its wide brass blade, a 3/32oz (2.5g) weight makes this Mepps Aglia 0 dressed (with tail) a refined tool for light-line enthusiasts. Product code 0161 features components manufactured in France and assembled in the USA, measuring a total of 1 1/2" (4cm) in length. The brass finish has aged gracefully, and given its clean appearance, it sits at a 4/5 condition rating. A hand-tied tail made of squirrel and deer hair is accented with turkey-quill and a distinctive red thread wrap at the hook eye. This design utilizes a cone rotation system intended to engage the blade the moment it hits the water. Two solid brass beads provide the necessary ballast on the wire shaft, leading down to the feathered hook assembly that creates a lifelike profile.
