Gradient transitions from neon green to bright orange define the Fire Tiger finish on this Mepps Aglia 5 dressed spinner, item code 1758. Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), this specimen measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) and showcases the classic French-engineered components assembled in the USA. The size 5 blade is clearly stamped with the Aglia branding and features two black crescent marks, complemented by four high-visibility yellow beads. This specimen is presented in 5/5 condition, retaining a clean finish on the blade and sharp, clear markings. The dressing is a meticulous combination of natural squirrel and deer hair bound with a secure red wrap, finished with distinct red turkey-quill accents. The wide-profile blade utilizes a cone rotation system, a design pioneered by Andre Meulnart in 1938 to ensure immediate rotation upon casting and retrieval.
