Stamped clearly on the nickel-finished blade, the French origin of this size 3 spinner marks a classic piece of angling history. This Mepps Aglia 3 dressed specimen, cataloged under product code 1751, weighs exactly 1/4 oz (7.3 g) and measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) in total length. The treble hook is meticulously hand-tied with a natural squirrel hair dressing featuring prominent red accents, a detail designed to provide a distinct underwater profile. Retaining a 5/5 condition rating, the nickel plating on the blade is bright and the red thread wrap remains tight and secure. The construction features the traditional stacked brass body and a free-spinning clevis, staying true to Andre Meulnart’s original 1938 design principles. While the components were manufactured in France, this specific lure was assembled in the USA, representing the long-standing cross-continental partnership that popularized the brand among bass and pike anglers.
