A weight of 1/8 oz (3.5 g) makes this Mepps Aglia 1 a versatile choice for light-tackle enthusiasts targeting trout or panfish. The stamped gold blade features the classic "MEPPS AGLIA 1" engraving, reflecting its heritage as a French-designed lure assembled in the USA. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in total length, the spinner is built around a solid brass body with recessed red accents that provide a sharp visual break. A matching red sleeve is positioned over the shank of the bronze treble hook, serving as a traditional strike point for tracking fish. This model utilizes the cone rotation system, a 1938 Andre Meulnart innovation that allows the blade to maintain a steady spin regardless of retrieve speed. This particular specimen, identified by product code 17095, is preserved in 5/5 condition with the gold finish and hardware remaining bright. The brass clevis and wire form are tightly finished with a clean top loop for secure line attachment.
