Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 4, 1/3oz Silver spinning lure #15369

Three vibrant yellow and red beads create a bold visual contrast against the silver-plated blade of this size 4 Mepps Aglia. Cataloged as product code 15369, the lure features the iconic teardrop-shaped blade stamped with the Mepps name, an identifier rooted in Andre Meulnart’s original 1938 French design. The construction includes a solid brass body component and an orange plastic tube covering the shank of the treble hook. At 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), the balance of this specimen is tailored for casting to larger freshwater predators. The silver finish on the blade and the wire forms are well-preserved, giving the piece a 4/5 condition rating. A brass clevis holds the blade securely, allowing it to hang at the proper angle along the central shaft.
