Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 3 dressed, 1/4oz Brass spinning lure #1349

A natural squirrel hair dressing with subtle accents provides a soft, lifelike texture to the feathered treble hook on this 1/4oz (7.3g) spinner. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) long, the lure features the iconic brass Aglia blade, meticulously stamped with French origin and various international patent markings. The solid brass body is detailed with deep grooves housing vibrant red accents that complement the red thread wrap at the hook shank. Cataloged as product code 1349, this Mepps model incorporates components originally crafted in France and assembled in the USA. The blade is designed with a specific cone rotation system, allowing for immediate engagement regardless of the retrieve speed or water current. Given its clean brass finish and well-preserved natural fibers, the specimen maintains an excellent appearance, deserving a condition rating of 5/5. This size 3 configuration is a versatile choice for anglers focusing on trout, bass, or pike in diverse water conditions.
