Weighing in at 1/2oz (13g), the classic spinner represents the heavy-duty end of the Aglia lineup. The French-made brass blade is deeply stamped with "MEPPS 5 AGLIA" and notes the British and French patents, a nod to the era when Todd Sheldon first began assembling these European components in the USA. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in total length, the lure features a traditional segmented brass bead body that provides significant ballast for distance casting. Its treble hook is finished with a characteristic red sleeve on the shank, serving as a focused visual strike point. Rated at 4/5, the specimen shows light signs of age that highlight its vintage character. The wire shaft is topped with a heavy-duty swivel, a practical addition for managing line twist. Recognized under product code 22936, this Aglia 5 remains a cornerstone piece for anyone documenting the history of American-assembled French tackle.
