Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 1, 1/8oz spinning lure #15894

Silver-plated components and a distinctive striped blade define this specific specimen. Featuring a solid brass body with recessed red rings, the lure is built around a stainless steel shaft. The size 1 blade showcases a bold black-and-white "zebra" pattern over a silver base, clearly stamped with the Mepps script. A red plastic sleeve covers the shank of the sharp treble hook, adding a focused strike point. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in total length and weighing 1/8oz (3.5 g), this lure represents the classic French spinner design originally conceived by Andre Meulnart in 1938. While the components were manufactured in France, the final assembly took place in the USA. This particular lure is unused and remains in top-tier condition. The clevis and cone rotation system are designed for immediate rotation upon retrieve, ensuring the blade spins reliably at various speeds. Product Code: 15894.
