Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 2, 3/16oz spinning lure #14961

A vibrant red strike tube surrounds the treble hook of this size 2 spinner. Weighing in at 3/16oz (4.5g) with a total length of 2 1/4" (5.5cm), this Mepps Aglia 2 (Product Code: 14961) is preserved in its original green carded packaging. The brass-toned blade displays the classic black and white striped decal with clear branding, a design element that helped solidify the brand's reputation after Todd Sheldon began distribution from Antigo, Wisconsin. On the back of the card, the legacy of the Sheldons' Inc. headquarters is evident, offering a glimpse into the brand's history of providing fishing guides for just 25 cents. The lure is unused, showing no signs of age on the metal components or the red tubing. Its construction features the signature cone rotation system and a weighted brass body designed for casting distance and steady blade rotation. According to the recommendations printed on the vintage card, this specific size is a go-to for targeting trout, bass, and larger panfish.
