Stamped clearly onto the silver blade are the historical markers of its French and British patent origins, alongside its U.S. pending status. Weighing 3/16 oz (4.5 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in total length, this Mepps Aglia 2, product code 1777, is a genuine piece of angling heritage. The silver finish on the wide blade provides a classic flash, complemented by the tiered brass body that serves as the weight and ballast for the assembly. This lure's construction speaks to the mid-century transition when Mepps components were crafted in France and then assembled in the USA, a collaboration that revolutionized spinner fishing. Rated 4/5, the specimen is remarkably clean, with the treble hook remaining sharp and the wire shaft straight. Collectors will appreciate the crispness of the "AGLIA 2" lettering, a testament to the quality control standards of the era. The lure features the iconic cone rotation system, allowing for immediate rotation as the retrieve begins.
