Brass-toned components give this spinner its timeless aesthetic, a hallmark of the 3/16 oz (4.5 g) Mepps Aglia 2. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, this specimen features a blade stamped with detailed patent information including British and French patents, reflecting its historical roots. On the reverse side, the "MADE IN FRANCE" marking highlights the origin of the components, which were later assembled in the USA. This particular lure, carrying product code 2147, showcases the classic French design invented by Andre Meulnart. The blade is mounted via a sturdy clevis above a series of graduated brass beads that serve as the body, providing the necessary weight for casting. At the business end, a sharp treble hook is attached to the wire shaft. In a condition rated 4/5, the metal surfaces remain bright and the stamped lettering is sharp and legible. The Aglia's wide blade is engineered to begin spinning immediately upon contact with the water, creating a consistent rotation around the central wire.
