Brass tones and a distinctive red-and-white striped sticker decorate the size 4 blade of this Mepps Aglia 4 dressed (squirrel tail). Assembled in the USA using French-made components, this specimen carries the product code 11964 and weighs 1/3 oz (10 g). The 2 3/4" (7 cm) frame is characterized by a natural squirrel tail dressing with turkey-quill accents, meticulously tied with deep red thread near the treble hook. A series of three graduated beads—shading from a vibrant orange to a sunny yellow—provides a visual transition between the heavy-gauge wire and the dressed hook. The wide-profile blade utilizes a cone rotation system intended to engage the water's current quickly during a retrieve. Showing minimal wear across its metallic surfaces, the lure maintains a 4/5 condition rating, preserving the integrity of its vintage aesthetic. The underside of the blade reveals the classic brass finish, a staple for anglers targeting trout, walleye, or pike in various water clarities.
