Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 1, 1/8oz Fire Tiger spinning lure #6745

Fire Tiger coloration defines the visual profile of this Mepps Aglia 1, featuring a high-visibility pattern that transitions from bright orange to yellow and green. Under ultraviolet light, the blade and the red sleeve over the treble hook reveal a vivid fluorescent glow, a specialized feature designed for visibility in stained water or low-light conditions. Weighing 1/8oz (3.5g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, this specimen is perfectly suited for casting in smaller streams for trout or panfish. Listed under product code 6745, the lure is unused and remains in its original vintage blister pack. The convex blade is stamped with the "Mepps Aglia" branding and the size designation, secured by a precise wire form construction. This "Original French Spinner" carries a rich heritage tracing back to Andre Meulnart’s 1938 design, though this specific unit was manufactured in the USA. The red tube over the hook shank provides a subtle strike point that complements the vibrant blade during a steady retrieve.
