Stamped with the "French Patent" and "U.S. Pend" markings on its size 2 brass blade, this spinner is a quintessential piece of angling history. Weighing in at 3/16oz (4.5g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length, the lure features the classic Mepps construction of solid brass beads stacked on a wire shaft. This particular specimen, identified by product code 1163, is rated a 4/5 in condition, showing a well-maintained brass finish that retains its original luster. The blade’s French origins are clear in the crisp lettering, a nod to Andre Meulnart's 1938 design, while the final assembly took place in the USA. Its hardware includes a sharp treble hook, ready for everything from panfish to trout. The wide teardrop-shaped blade is designed to rotate around the central axis upon retrieval, a technical hallmark of the Mepps Aglia series.
