A silver-plated blade characterizes this 1/8 oz (3.5 g) inline spinner, which stands as a staple in the Mepps lineup. Identified by product code 8678, this Aglia 1 dressed model measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) in total length. The lure is unused and remains sealed within its original packaging, showing the yellow-to-white gradient card associated with the Mepps Fishing Guide era in Antigo, Wisconsin. Its feathered dressing incorporates dark brown and black fibers with a distinct red highlight at the base of the treble hook. The blade features traditional stamping, a nod to Andre Meulnart's 1938 French design that was later brought to the United States. This assembly consists of U.S. and foreign parts, maintaining the high-standard hardware expected from the brand. The clear bubble wrap remains intact, protecting the reflective silver finish and the structural integrity of the hand-tied feathered tail.
