Platinum Green paint on the size 5 blade provides a sharp, metallic flash that pairs well with the 1/2 oz (14 g) weighted body. Carrying the product code 2281, this collector-grade specimen is housed in its original retail packaging and is in unused condition. The 3 1/4" (8 cm) assembly is built around a stainless steel shaft and a precision clevis that allows the Aglia blade to rotate freely at various speeds. Notable on this specific unit is the plain treble hook, which features a bright fluorescent orange attractor sleeve on the shank to provide a focused strike point. The card back details the lure's heritage, tracing back to Andre Meulnart's 1938 French design, though this specific piece was assembled in Antigo, Wisconsin. This plain-hook configuration is often preferred for a cleaner presentation when targeting northern pike or large bass in heavy cover.
