Weighing in at 3/16 oz (4.7 g), the classic spinner features a French-made blade that helped define the Mepps legacy. The size 2 nickel-plated blade displays a recognizable black and white striped pattern, showing a light level of use consistent with a 4/5 rating. On the reverse side, the "MADE IN FRANCE" stamp remains clearly legible, a nod to the original components designed by Andre Meulnart before final assembly in the USA. The lure's body consists of stacked brass-toned beads that lead down to a hand-tied treble hook. Natural grey and black squirrel hair, secured with a vibrant red thread wrap, provides the dressing for this particular specimen. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) in total length, the Aglia uses a clevis-mounted blade designed for immediate rotation upon retrieve. Cataloged under product code 1129, this version represents the foundational design that Todd Sheldon popularized across North America starting in the 1960s.
