A weight of 1/2oz (14g) gives this large-profile spinner the mass needed for long-distance casting and staying deep in the water column. This Mepps Aglia 5 Dressed, identified by product code 19401, centers around a substantial oval brass blade stamped with its French origin and patent information. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in total length, the wire shaft is decorated with four yellow-painted beads and small cone-shaped brass spacers. The treble hook is finished with a natural squirrel hair dressing featuring dark and tan fibers, all held in place by a secure red thread wrap. This specific lure carries a condition rating of 5/5, showing clean hardware and well-defined markings. While the individual components were manufactured in France, the assembly took place in the USA, a common practice for this era of Mepps production. The brass finish on the blade provides a softer reflection than silver, a detail often sought by anglers targeting pressured fish in clear water environments.
