Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 3 dressed squirrel tail, 1/4oz Silver spinning lure #2366

Wrapped in its original clear plastic blister packaging, the silver-finished blade on this Mepps Aglia 3 is a quintessential piece of angling history. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (7.3 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, this specimen features the classic natural squirrel tail dressing, accented with a distinct red turkey-quill strip. The construction utilizes the iconic cone rotation system, a hallmark of André Meulnart's 1938 French design that became a staple for US anglers after Todd Sheldon began distribution from Wisconsin. This specific lure, identified by product code 2366, remains in unused condition, earning a 6 rating for its pristine feathered tail and bright, unblemished surface on the #3 size blade. Assembled in the USA, the lure reflects the manufacturer's long-standing reputation for versatility across species like bass, walleye, and northern pike. The back of the mounting card displays the original B3ST S-G designation and assembly details.
