Stamped with "MADE IN FRANCE" on the underside of its substantial brass blade, this Aglia 5 Dressed spinner from the 1970s carries the authentic soul of Mepps history. The 1/2 oz (14 g) weight makes it a formidable choice for casting into deeper structures where larger predators lurk. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in total length, the lure is built around a series of stacked yellow beads with orange accents, providing a classic visual contrast. The dressed treble hook is wrapped in natural fur with white and dark brown fibers, a detail designed to add bulk and a different silhouette in the water. Listed under product code 22306, this rarity was assembled in the USA using French components, showcasing the international heritage of the brand. With a condition rating of 4/5, the hardware remains sturdy and the hook dressing is remarkably well-preserved for its age. The wire form terminates in a clean top loop for secure line attachment, typical of the high-quality assembly standards found in these mid-century favorites.
