A weight of 3/16oz (4.5g) provides the necessary ballast for this Mepps Aglia 2 to reach deeper pockets in moving water. The silver-finished blade is decorated with a high-visibility chartreuse sticker, displaying the classic Mepps Aglia branding and size 2 stamp. Assembled in the USA using components made in France, this piece carries the legacy of Andre Meulnart’s original 1938 design under product code 18871. Its hardware consists of a ribbed brass body and a conical spacer which ensures the blade rotates freely around the central wire. The treble hook is dressed with a recognizable red plastic sleeve, a standard aesthetic choice for these French-style spinners. This specimen is in 4/5 condition, maintaining a clean look across the metal surfaces and the blade graphic.
