Stamped deeply into the silver-finished blade are the marks of its international heritage: "BRITISH FRENCH PATENT" and "U.S. PEND". A substantial 1/2oz (14g) weight is achieved through the use of a stacked metal bead body, which assists in reaching distance during the cast. This Mepps Aglia 5, identified by product code 5561, spans 3 1/4" (8cm) and features the classic wide-profile blade designed to rotate around a brass clevis. The condition is a clean 5/5, showing no wear on the large bronze-finished treble hook or the wire-through assembly. Built with components from France and assembled in the USA, the lure represents the design by Andre Meulnart that became a global standard for spinners. The textured edges of the blade and the legible typography remain as clear as the day it was manufactured.
