Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 4 Dressed, 1/3oz nickel/red/white spinning lure #22593

Three stacked yellow and orange beads serve as the body core of this Aglia 4 Dressed, providing a vibrant visual contrast to the nickel blade. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the lure features a red and white striped pattern on the blade face, marked clearly with a bold number "4" to indicate the size. The reverse side of the blade carries a "MADE IN FRANCE" stamp, a nod to the French engineering that defines the Aglia's heritage, even when components were assembled in the USA. A natural squirrel hair dressing in mottled brown and white tones wraps the treble hook, bringing the total length to 2 3/4" (7 cm). This specific specimen, identified by product code 22593, earns a 4/5 condition rating, showing honest wear on the blade edges while the red binding at the hook remains tight. A standard silver-tone clevis allows the blade to revolve around the wire frame during casting and retrieval.
