Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 1, 1/8oz copper spinning lure #18666

Copper plating covers the oval blade, which is clearly stamped with the Mepps logo and French patent information. This 1/8 oz (3.5 g) spinner, identified by Product Code 18666, represents a timeless design assembled in the USA using components originally crafted in France. The construction features a brass body with deep red grooves, a specific design element paired with the blade's metallic finish. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure is equipped with a sharp treble hook shielded by a bright red plastic sleeve. The condition of this specimen is 5/5, with all metal surfaces showing a bright, clean luster and the wire harness maintaining its original shape. You can see the "1" size marking prominently centered on the blade face, distinguishing it as a versatile choice for a variety of freshwater environments.
