Four bright yellow beads stacked along the central wire shaft serve as a striking visual centerpiece for this classic spinner. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8.3 cm) in length, this Mepps Aglia 5 Dressed, product code 15062, features a hand-tied dressing of natural squirrel and deer hair secured by a vibrant red thread wrap. The polished silver blade is deeply stamped with the iconic brand markings, a nod to the cone rotation system first engineered by Andre Meulnart in France in 1938. This specimen shows exceptional preservation with its hardware and natural fibers intact, earning a condition rating of 5/5. Assembled in the USA with French-made components, the wide blade is designed to catch the water and begin turning the moment a retrieve begins. The variegated brown tones of the tail hair contrast with the metallic silver finish, maintaining the classic aesthetic that made these lures a staple in tackle boxes since Todd Sheldon popularized them in the 1960s.
