Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 3 dressed (squirrel tail), 1/4oz spinning lure #14562

Gold plating on the oval blade catches the light, bearing the distinct 'MADE IN FRANCE' stamp that confirms the origin of this size 3 spinner's core components. The Mepps Aglia 3 dressed (squirrel tail) is built around a segmented weight with red paint accents in the ribbing, transitioning into a lush, hand-tied natural squirrel tail. This dressing features a mix of dark brown and black fur with a bright red thread wrap at the head and turkey-quill accents for extra texture. Identified by product code 14562, the lure weighs 1/4 oz (7.3 g) and maintains a 5/5 rating with its hardware and dressing appearing in excellent state. The design utilizes a cone rotation system allowing the blade to spin freely around the wire shaft upon retrieve. A sharp treble hook is tucked away inside the tail, providing a natural profile when moving through the water column.
