Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 3 dressed, 1/4oz silver spinning lure #20648

A silver-finished blade stamped with the Aglia name and French origin anchors the build of this size 3 inline spinner. Identified by product code 20648, the lure's weight is provided by a ribbed brass body accented by red painted rings. The 2 3/4" (7cm) frame carries a hand-tied dressing of natural squirrel hair with a subtle red feather accent near the tail. Weighing 1/4oz (7.3g), the spinner utilizes a standard Aglia blade shape mounted on a brass clevis. This specimen remains in 4/5 condition, appearing well-preserved with clean metal surfaces and a secure red thread wrap at the treble hook eye. The stamping on the blade face remains sharp and legible, showcasing the classic French manufacturing components often found on vintage Mepps models.
