Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 3, 1/4oz spinning lure #19408

Stamped clearly on the back of the silver-finished blade, the "MADE IN FRANCE" mark highlights the heritage of the components used in this Mepps Aglia 3 from 1973. Identified by product code 19408, this classic spinner weighs 1/4oz (7g) and measures 2 3/4" (7cm) in length. The lure features a size 3 blade decorated with distinct red and white diagonal stripes alongside the traditional Mepps script. Solid brass beads form the body, punctuated by bright red spacers that coordinate with the red tubing covering the shank of the treble hook. Assembled in the USA, this specimen is unused, with the original luster and crisp markings fully intact across the hardware and wire-form construction. The weighted body is balanced for casting, while the clevis-mounted blade allows for rotation during a steady retrieve.
