Stamped clearly on the brass blade of this size 2 spinner are the marks of its European heritage: "BRITISH PATENT" and "BREVETE FRANCE." Weighing 3/16oz (4.5g), the Mepps Aglia 2 features the foundational design pioneered by Andre Meulnart in 1938. The brass blade is mounted with a simple clevis, a mechanism engineered to spin smoothly against the water's resistance during a retrieve. At a length of 2 1/4" (5.5cm), the lure is constructed with a solid wire shaft that secures a two-part brass body and a standard treble hook. Cataloged as product code 1152, the specimen is in 4/5 condition, maintaining a clean finish that highlights the quality of vintage French tackle manufacturing. These specific stampings on the blade reflect the early era of Mepps production before it became a global household name for trout and panfish anglers.
