Museum Archive: Mepps Aglia 4 Platinum, 1/3oz Platinum Blue spinning lure #2361

Platinum Blue finishing on the size #4 blade provides a high-contrast flash that stands out in various light conditions. This specific Mepps Aglia 4 Platinum, identified by product code 2361, weighs in at 1/3 oz (9 g) and reaches a length of 2 3/4" (7 cm). The design incorporates a broad French-style blade that rotates around a central axis, a hallmark of the original 1938 Andre Meulnart invention. On the hook shank, a bright orange sleeve provides a visual focal point against the metallic blue blade. Assembled in the USA, this specimen features the classic solid brass components and heavy-duty hardware that became famous after Todd Sheldon introduced the brand to the American market from his base in Wisconsin. This lure is unused and remains in its original factory packaging. The 'B4 BLP' marking on the reverse of the card confirms the 1/3 oz (9 g) weight and the distinctive Platinum Blue color pattern.
