Fluorescent Orange finish on the size 2 blade makes this specimen a standout choice for stained water or low-light conditions. Weighing 3/16oz (4.5g), the lure is built around a sturdy wire shaft that holds the iconic French-designed blade, stamped clearly with the Mepps Aglia branding. The body consists of several brass-colored weights with black grooved accents, providing the necessary mass for casting while maintaining a slim profile. A bright orange sleeve is fitted over the shank of the treble hook, creating a focused strike point that complements the blade’s color. Assembled in the USA using components manufactured in France, this spinner represents a design lineage dating back to 1938. This specific item, listed under product code 1842, measures 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in length and shows light signs of its history, earning a condition rating of 4/5. The hardware remains solid and the paint on the blade is well-preserved, reflecting the durable build quality for which the Sheldon family's imports became famous.
