Silver French-made components form the foundation of this classic spinner, which tips the scales at exactly 1/4oz (7.3g). Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the Mepps Aglia 3 dressed (Product Code 7459) features a silver-plated blade clearly stamped with its French heritage and brand markings. The dressing on the treble hook consists of a thick bundle of natural squirrel and deer hair, accented by a subtle red turkey-quill feather for added contrast. Along the wire shaft, the brass-colored body segments are separated by vibrant red rings, maintaining a crisp appearance that earns this specimen a 5/5 condition rating. Andre Meulnart’s original 1938 design is preserved here, featuring a wide blade profile and a precision cone rotation system meant to engage under water resistance. This specimen showcases the quality assembly typical of the era when Mepps combined French-manufactured parts with American final assembly.
