Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 1, 1/8oz Red / White / Gold spinning lure #4660

Bold red stripes over a clean white base decorate the blade of this size 1 spinner, providing a high-contrast visual profile for light tackle enthusiasts. At 1/8oz (3.5g) and a length of 2" (5.1 cm), it is a classic tool for targeting species like trout or panfish in various water conditions. This specific specimen, identified by product code 4660, is unused and remains in its original vintage blister packaging from Sheldons, Inc. of Antigo, Wisconsin. The construction features a solid brass beaded body and a treble hook dressed with red tubing. As noted on the original card, the Aglia's wide blade is designed to rotate immediately upon the retrieve, creating a distinct mechanical presence. The yellow and red card backing is well-preserved, containing a helpful guide on the reverse that compares the Aglia's profile against other French-designed blades like the Comet and Black Fury.
