Stamped with deep, legible markings, the brass blade on this size 3 spinner proudly displays the 'MEPPS 3 AGLIA' name along with its British and French patent history. This specimen is in excellent shape, rated 5/5, showing a bright finish across its 2 1/4" (6cm) frame. A vibrant red sleeve sits on the shank of the treble hook, offering a point of visual contrast against the 1/4oz (7g) brass components. While this specific lure was assembled in the USA, its heart lies in the French-made components developed from Andre Meulnart’s 1938 engineering. The construction features a classic cone rotation system intended for steady casting and retrieving in various water conditions. Every part of product code 1348, from the weighted body to the precisely curved blade, reflects the industrial quality that made these spinners a staple in tackle boxes for decades.
