Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 2, 3/16oz Brass spinning lure #2406

Stamped into the brass-colored blade is the number 2, indicating the size of this 3/16oz (4.5g) spinner. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5cm) in total length, the lure features the teardrop blade geometry that defines the Aglia series. This item, cataloged as product code 2406, retains its original red plastic sleeve on the treble hook, designed to serve as a visual target. The weighted body consists of stacked, grooved brass beads that provide the necessary ballast for casting. On the reverse side of the blade, the 'Made in France' origin is clearly visible, paying homage to Andre Meulnart’s original 1938 design. The metal is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved surfaces and sharp font in the etchings. Each component, from the clevis to the wire wraps, remains tight and functional.
