A vibrant 'Trout' pattern blade, measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, defines this classic Mepps Aglia 3. The blade displays a striking three-color gradient of blue, pink, and silver accented by black dots, a specific finish intended for clear water visibility. Flipping the blade reveals the authentic 'MEPPS AGLIA MADE IN FRANCE' stamping alongside the '3' size designation, confirming the quality of the French-made components. At a weight of 1/4 oz (7.3 g), the brass body components are stacked precisely on the wire shaft, leading to a hand-tied natural squirrel tail dressing on the treble hook. This specimen, identified by product code 9553, is preserved in 5/5 condition, with the hardware remaining bright and the turkey-quill accents within the hair dressing fully intact. Assembled in the USA, the design relies on a specialized clevis and cone rotation system for immediate spin upon contact with water tension.
