Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 4, 1/3oz Red / White / Gold spinning lure #3630

Weighing in at 1/3oz (9g), this size 4 Mepps Aglia is a classic example of the French-engineered precision that built the brand's reputation. The gold-plated blade features a "MADE IN FRANCE" stamp on its underside, a nod to the components' origins before assembly in the USA. On the front, the signature red and white striped pattern stands out alongside the iconic brand logo and the number 4, signifying its profile at 2 3/4" (7cm) in total length. Three stacked beads, painted in a red-to-yellow gradient, provide the necessary ballast above the treble hook. To add a bit more visibility, the shank of the hook is fitted with a bright red strike tube. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 3630, shows the high quality of early production, earning a condition rating of 5/5. The brass cone and clevis assembly are designed for a reliable spin from the moment it enters the water column.
