Weighing in at 3/16oz (4.5g), this vintage spinner showcases the classic brass construction that has made the Mepps brand a staple for generations of anglers. Stamped markings on the blade include "2", "AGLIA", "BRITISH PATENT", and "BREVETE FRANCE", providing a direct link to the French engineering of Andre Meulnart. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in total length, the lure is built around a central wire shaft with a solid brass body and weighted beads. This specific Mepps Aglia 2, identified by product code 1717, is rated at 4/5, showing a clean finish where the stamped lettering remains sharp and clear against the metal. Assembled in the USA with French-made components, the design incorporates a cone rotation system that facilitates blade movement. The hardware consists of a classic treble hook, reflecting the manufacturing standards used when these lures gained massive popularity in the 1960s.
