A vibrant orange and green gradient defines the fluorescent finish of this specific size 5 blade. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, this specimen features the classic French-made Aglia blade. The blade face is clearly stamped with the Mepps Aglia branding and the size number 5, while the reverse side carries the 'MADE IN FRANCE' mark. Four bright orange beads form the weighted body, leading down to a large, sharp single hook. This Product Code 3568 variant utilizes a UV-responsive coating designed to remain visible across different light spectrums. The condition is a solid 5/5, with the painted surfaces and metal components appearing exceptionally well-preserved. Historically, the Aglia's success stems from Andre Meulnart's 1938 invention, specifically the clevis-mounted blade that starts spinning the moment it enters the water column.
