Gold plating on the size 4 blade immediately catches the light, reflecting the French origin of its components. This Mepps Aglia 4 dressed (squirrel tail), cataloged under product code 7530, weighs in at 1/3oz (10g) and measures 2 3/4" (7cm) in total length. The blade is clearly stamped with "MADE IN FRANCE" on the reverse and features the classic "AGLIA" and "FRENCH PAT." markings on the front. A sequence of three yellow beads with red accents provides the central weight, leading down to a hand-tied squirrel tail dressing. This natural hair tail is secured with a vibrant red thread collar over the treble hook. This specific specimen reflects the era when components were manufactured in France by Andre Meulnart's team and later assembled in the USA. The gold finish on the blade is clean and bright, earning this lure a condition rating of 5/5. The natural squirrel hair remains full and provides a classic profile for targeting pike, bass, or large trout.
