Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 4 dressed (squirrel tail), 1/3oz Silver spinning lure #3742

Weighing in at 1/3oz (10g), the silver blade on this Mepps Aglia 4 is deeply stamped with the Aglia name and its size 4 alongside international patent designations. This specific specimen, identified by product code 3742, was assembled in the USA using original French components, maintaining the design lineage that defined the modern inline spinner. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure features a weighted body composed of vibrant yellow beads with orange-painted highlights. The dressing consists of natural squirrel tail hair in mottled brown and black tones, punctuated by a single red accent fiber near the treble. Every element, from the brass spacers to the feathered hook, presents in a very clean state, earning a condition rating of 5/5. The wide blade geometry is mounted on a wire shaft to rotate around the central bead assembly.
