Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 2, 3/16oz Brass spinning lure #3029

Stamping on the size 2 brass blade clearly identifies its heritage with "British Patent Brevete France" lettering, a hallmark for collectors of mid-century Mepps tackle. At 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in length, the Aglia 2 uses a refined cone rotation system designed to engage as soon as the lure enters the water. The solid brass construction throughout the body and blade gives it a distinct weight of 3/16 oz (4.5 g), providing enough mass for accurate casting towards trout or panfish. Assembled in the USA using components originally manufactured in France, this specimen carries the product code 3029 and shows the high level of craftsmanship that established Mepps as a global standard. The brass surfaces are exceptionally clean, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Triple hooks are secured to the segmented brass body, reflecting the durable design Andre Meulnart first pioneered in 1938.
