Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 4 Dressed (1970s), 1/3oz spinning lure #23674

Stamped clearly into the brass blade is the 'Aglia 4' size alongside 'British French Pat,' marking this 1/3oz (10g) Mepps as a classic 1970s specimen. The hardware features a series of graduated brass beads and a clevis that supports the blade on a 2 3/4" (7cm) wire shaft. While the individual components were manufactured in France, this specific Mepps Aglia 4 Dressed (Product Code: 23674) was assembled in the USA. The treble hook is hand-dressed with a genuine squirrel tail, showing natural yellow and dark brown barring, secured with a classic red thread wrap. The brass surfaces have aged gracefully, retaining a clean and bright appearance that reflects its 4/5 condition rating. Anglers often choose this size for pike or large trout, and the wire eyelet remains perfectly formed for a secure connection.
