A weight of 1/4 oz (7 g) characterizes this Mepps Aglia 3, a size that has landed countless record fish over the decades. The oval blade features the iconic 'MEPPS AGLIA BRITISH PATENT BREVETE FRANCE' stamp, linking this 4414 specimen directly to its French heritage and Andre Meulnart’s original 1938 design. At 2 3/4" (7 cm) long, the construction relies on a segmented brass body and a wire-through frame that ensures the blade rotates freely on its clevis. The condition is rated 5/5, appearing exceptionally well-kept with a deep luster on the gold finish. While many modern spinners use complex beads, this vintage model uses solid brass segments to maintain its profile during the retrieve. The sharp treble hook is attached via a simple loop at the base of the weighted body.
