Copper plating on the size 5 blade carries the unmistakable "MADE IN FRANCE" stamp, a hallmark of the original Andre Meulnart design. Four graduated beads, finished in vibrant yellow and red, form the body of this specimen, cataloged as Product Code 9590. A hand-dressed treble hook sits at the base, featuring natural squirrel tail fibers with a distinct red quill accent. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm), the Aglia 5 is a substantial spinner built for deep-water retrieves and larger predatory fish like pike or trophy bass. The components were manufactured in France and assembled in the USA, representing the long-standing cross-continental partnership that defined the brand's growth in the 1960s. Its hardware shows very light wear, presenting in a clean 4/5 condition. The wide blade design relies on a precise cone rotation system to engage with the current as soon as the line tightens.
