Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 4 dressed, 1/3oz Fluorescent Pink spinning lure #1755

Saturated Fluorescent Pink coating on the size 4 blade immediately catches the eye, serving as a high-visibility signal for deep-water retrieves. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g) with a total length of 2 3/4" (7 cm), this Mepps Aglia 4 dressed spinner features the iconic French-made blade, though this specific unit was assembled in the USA. The lure is built on a sturdy wire frame featuring a tri-beaded body in contrasting pink and black. Its feathered tail is a hand-tied arrangement of natural deer and squirrel hair, finished with a distinct turkey-quill accent. This dressing is designed to pulse and expand during the retrieve, providing a larger visual profile. Identified by product code 1755, the lure remains in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved enamel on the blade and clean, vibrant fibers in the tail. The cone rotation system is a hallmark of Andre Meulnart's original 1938 design, ensuring the blade spins smoothly against the brass body. The hardware is completed with a sharp treble hook and a traditional twisted-wire eyelet at the head.
