Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 1 UV, 1/8oz spinning lure #15506

Featuring a vibrant UV-reactive finish, the blade of this specimen is engineered for high visibility in low-light environments. Weighing 1/8oz (3.5g) and measuring 2" (5.08 cm) in length, the brass body is constructed from a series of stacked, grooved beads that provide reliable weight for casting. The size 1 blade displays a smooth gradient from deep orange to neon yellow, carrying the distinct Mepps Aglia stamping. When exposed to UV light, the finish transforms into a high-contrast glow, a technical detail specifically designed to trigger strikes in stained water or during twilight hours. This lure, cataloged under Product Code 15506, incorporates the French-made cone rotation system that allows the blade to spin freely around the wire shaft at various speeds. The treble hook is in excellent 5/5 condition and features a signature red plastic sleeve over the shank for added visual attraction. Assembled in the USA from French components, the build quality reflects the long-standing heritage of the Aglia series.
