Assembled in the USA using high-quality French components, this classic spinner showcases the international partnership that built the Mepps legacy. Weighing in at 3/16 oz (4.5 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the size 2 Aglia is a versatile choice for targeting anything from heavy-bodied trout to hungry bass. The brass blade features deep, crisp stamping on both sides, with the front identifying the model and the reverse bearing the 'MADE IN FRANCE' mark. This specimen maintains a 5/5 condition rating, with the brass body beads and cone weight showing excellent preservation. The hardware includes a sturdy treble hook attached to a wire shaft that terminates in a clean line tie. A simple clevis secures the blade, designed for immediate rotation upon retrieve—a hallmark of the Andre Meulnart design that Todd Sheldon popularized in the states under the 1116 product code. The warm tone of the brass finish is a preferred choice for overcast days or stained water where a subtler flash is needed compared to silver.
