Stamped clearly into the silver-finished blade are the words "MADE IN FRANCE," identifying the heritage of this size 1 spinner. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.6 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this Mepps Aglia 1 Dressed (squirrel tail) features a genuine gray and white squirrel tail dressing tied over a bright red hub. The brass body is composed of a series of stacked, grooved beads and a conical spacer that allows the silver blade to rotate around the stainless steel wire shaft. Designated by product code 21409, the lure remains in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved hardware and a full, natural tail. A single red fiber extends from the base of the dressing, providing a localized point of color against the neutral fur. This specimen's construction is a classic example of the design Todd Sheldon popularized in the USA after discovering the French-made originals. The top wire loop is tightly coiled, and the silver plating on the blade retains its original luster.
