Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 2 Dressed, 3/16oz Brass spinning lure #0714

Brass components catch the light on this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) Mepps Aglia 2 Dressed, a classic spinner featuring a feathered tail. This specific specimen, identified by product code 0714, carries the traditional French-style blade stamped with the Mepps name and origin. Weighing 3/16oz (4.7g), the lure utilizes a series of brass beads and a cone rotation system designed to enable the blade to spin smoothly regardless of retrieve speed. The treble hook is finished with a dark, maroon-hued hair dressing, providing a natural profile that anglers find effective for finicky trout, panfish, and bass. Reflecting the quality of its 1930s French origins, the brass surfaces are clean and well-preserved, earning a 4/5 condition rating. The wide blade is technically shaped to produce distinct vibrations that help fish locate the lure from a distance.
