Stamped with the "BRITISH FRENCH PAT" mark, the nickel blade on this spinner identifies its origin within the early Mepps production lineage. At 3/16oz (4.7g), this size 2 spinner utilizes the signature Mepps cone rotation system designed for immediate blade engagement. The 2 1/4" (5.5cm) frame is finished with a dressed treble hook, combining natural squirrel and deer hair in a mix of black, tan, and orange tones. The red-painted grooves on the brass weight and the matching red collar provide a distinct visual contrast against the reflective nickel finish. Rated 4/5, the specimen shows gentle signs of its age while maintaining the structural integrity of the 1930s Andre Meulnart design. These components, manufactured in France and assembled in the USA, represent the craftsmanship that made the Aglia a staple for trout and bass anglers worldwide. The wide blade geometry is specifically engineered to turn quickly during a retrieve, producing vibrations easily detected by fish in various water conditions.
