Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 2 (1980s), 3/16oz Silver spinning lure #17554

Silver plating on the size 2 blade provides the classic flash that has defined this French-engineered spinner for decades. Identified by product code 17554, this 1980s specimen is presented in unused condition on its original green 'Mepps Killer' retail card. It weighs 3/16 oz (4.5 g) and measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in total length, featuring the signature stamped Aglia blade and a treble hook dressed with a red strike-point sleeve. The reverse of the card offers a nostalgic look into tackle marketing history, showcasing a mail-in form for branded apparel from the Mepps headquarters in Antigo, Wisconsin. The construction features a brass-toned weight and a traditional clevis designed for a steady retrieve.
