Stamped clearly on the brass blade are the origins of this Mepps Aglia 2, showcasing the "Made in France" and "British French Patent" marks that collectors value. Weighing 3/16oz (4.7g) and measuring 2" (5cm) overall, this piece, product code 0047, features a brass blade paired with a matching ribbed brass body. Red paint fills the body's recessed rings, coordinating with the red plastic tubing found on the treble hook shank. This specimen was assembled in the USA using French-made components, a hallmark of the brand's mid-century expansion. The lure is in well-maintained condition, earning a 4/5 rating, with the metal components retaining a clean appearance. Its construction relies on a cone rotation system and a precisely shaped clevis to facilitate blade movement during a steady retrieve. The wire loop at the head remains straight, and the treble hook points are sharp, characteristic of its careful storage over the years.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
