Stamping on the gold blade clearly identifies this 3/16 oz (4.5 g) specimen as a Mepps 2 Aglia, complete with distinct British and French patent markings. This 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) spinner, identified by product code 23949, represents a classic era when Mepps components were manufactured in France and assembled in the USA. The brass body features precisely machined rings that complement the polished gold finish of the blade. A distinctive feature on this piece is the red plastic tubing fitted over the shank of the treble hook, designed to provide a high-visibility strike point during a retrieve. The lure remains in well-preserved 4/5 condition, showing a clean surface and clear lettering across the blade. Its design relies on the cone rotation system, allowing the blade to spin freely around the central wire and brass weights.
