Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 3, 1/4oz fishing lure #19397

A fluorescent orange sleeve covers the treble hook shank of this Mepps Aglia 3, creating a high-visibility strike target for following predators. The size 3 blade displays a gradient of sky blue and pink over silver, decorated with a distinct pattern of black dots. Identified by product code 19397, this spinner weighs 1/4oz (7g) and has an overall length of 2 3/4" (7cm). The lure's core consists of a ribbed brass weight and stacked beads that allow the blade to rotate freely on the stainless steel wire frame. This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, with the factory paint and hardware appearing perfectly preserved. Assembled in the USA using French-made components, the blade bears the stamped name and size, honoring the design legacy established by Andre Meulnart in 1938. The wire is finished with a secure loop at the front for line connection.
