Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 3, 1/4oz spinning lure #14251

Stamped with the iconic 'Made in France' on the back of its blade, this specimen represents the classic design heritage of Andre Meulnart. This Mepps Aglia 3, identified by product code 14251, weighs 1/4 oz (7 g) and measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) in total length. The gold blade is detailed with a vibrant red center sticker and black 'Aglia' lettering, while the body consists of a black-finished brass component accented by red painted rings. Down at the business end, a red plastic tube is fitted over the shank of the treble hook, a signature visual trigger for species like bass and pike. While the components were manufactured in France, the final assembly of this lure took place in the USA. The condition is rated at 4/5, showing light, honest wear on the blade sticker and hardware. The wide blade geometry is specifically engineered to engage and rotate as soon as the retrieve begins.
