Weighing exactly 1/2 oz (14 g), the gold-finished blade on this vintage inline spinner bears the classic stamping that marks its French origin. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in total length, this Mepps Aglia 5 Dressed specimen from the 1970s features a body built from five graduated brass beads, including a small conical bead positioned just behind the clevis. The treble hook is hand-dressed with natural white hair, secured firmly by a bright red thread wrap that provides a visual focal point. Identified by product code 23675, this lure represents the era when Mepps components were manufactured in France and subsequently assembled in the USA. The gold plating remains bright and the dressing is fully intact, earning this collector's piece a condition rating of 5/5. A heavy-duty wire shaft runs through the center, terminating in a pre-attached swivel to facilitate easy rigging.
