Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 2, 3/16oz Gold spinning lure #5378

Stamped clearly into the blade are the marks of its heritage: "Mepps 2 Aglia British Patent Brevete France," identifying it as a classic French-made piece. Weighing 3/16 oz (4.5 g) with a total length of 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), this gold spinner, product code 5378, features the iconic Aglia blade shape intended to rotate smoothly at various retrieve speeds. The lure body is built with a series of solid brass beads and a bell-shaped spacer that centers the weight on the wire shaft. This size 2 model is in high-quality condition, rated 5/5, with clean surfaces and crisp lettering across the blade. The original hardware, including the brass clevis and a bare treble hook, remains intact.
