Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 5, 1/2oz Gold spinning lure #15372

Stamped clearly into the brass-colored blade, the "MEPPS 5 AGLIA" marking identifies this substantial 1/2 oz (14 g) inline spinner. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 15372, measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length. The classic gold-finished blade is balanced by a body core consisting of four stacked beads with a distinctive yellow and red speckled pattern. Assembled in the USA using components manufactured in France, the construction features a clevis that allows the blade to revolve around the central wire. The hardware remains in excellent form, featuring a treble hook shielded by a signature red plastic sleeve. Showing no signs of wear, the lure maintains a 5/5 condition rating, with the metal and paint finishes remaining bright and sharp. Its weight and blade surface area make it a standard choice for anglers targeting northern pike or trophy-sized trout in deeper water columns.
