A gold-plated blade stamped with "MEPPS AGLIA 3" and "MADE IN FRANCE" serves as the focal point of this 1/4oz (7.3g) spinner. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in total length, the lure is built on a heavy-gauge wire shaft featuring a solid brass body with five distinct red-painted grooves. The treble hook is hand-dressed with natural squirrel hair, uniquely accented by a single red strand of fiber. This specific specimen, identified by product code 6227, presents in 5/5 condition and shows no signs of previous use. The design utilizes a specialized cone rotation system that enables the blade to spin the moment it encounters resistance. These components, while manufactured in France, were assembled in the USA to meet the demands of American anglers targeting species ranging from trophy trout to walleye.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
