Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 3 dressed , 1/4oz gold spinning lure #22293

A total weight of 1/4 oz (7.3g) gives this size 3 spinner enough mass for accurate placement in various water conditions. The blade features a stamped gold finish, a classic choice for visibility, and is paired with a hand-tied dressing made from natural squirrel and deer hair. This piece, identified by Product Code 22293, measures 2 3/4" (7cm) and is in 5/5 condition, appearing remarkably well-preserved. Its construction involves French-made components, including the brass body beads and the precisely curved blade, which were then assembled in the USA. A neat red thread wrap secures the tail fibers just above the treble hook, while red accents between the brass body weights provide a subtle visual contrast. The wire shaft ends in a clean loop, ready for a snap or direct tie.
