Stamped with the size 2 designation and "BRITISH PATENT BREVETE FRANCE," the silver blade on this Mepps Aglia highlights its early mid-century European origins. Weighing in at 3/16oz (4.5g), this specimen (Product Code 4413) represents the classic design Andre Meulnart invented in 1938. The silver-finished blade is paired with a solid brass ribbed body and a series of brass beads that provide the necessary ballast for casting. At a total length of 2 1/4" (5.5cm), it serves as a versatile choice for targeting anything from aggressive bass to wary trout. Looking at the reverse of the blade, the "MADE IN FRANCE" stamp confirms the source of the high-quality components, which were later assembled in the USA following Todd Sheldon’s successful distribution efforts in the 1960s. The hardware remains in excellent shape, featuring a sturdy bronze treble hook and a clean wire form. For a collector, the crisp lettering and the warm tone of the brass components make this a standout example. This piece is in 5/5 condition, showing the care taken to preserve such a foundational piece of angling history. The cone-shaped clevis allows the blade to rotate around the central shaft with minimal resistance.
