Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 5 Fluo UV, 1/2oz Chartreuse spinning lure #7621

Chartreuse pigment covers the large #5 blade, which is specially formulated to react under ultraviolet light for maximum visibility in deep or murky conditions. This Mepps Aglia 5 Fluo UV, identified by product code 7621, weighs a substantial 1/2 oz (14 g) and measures 3 1/2" (9 cm) in total length. The body is built with a sequence of alternating black and fluorescent yellow beads, leading down to a sharp, high-carbon steel treble hook. Stamped clearly on the face of the blade is the "Mepps AGLIA" branding, a hallmark of the cone rotation system originally designed by Andre Meulnart in France. While the precision components were manufactured in France, this particular specimen was assembled in the USA. It is presented in 5/5 condition, featuring a clean, vibrant finish and untarnished hardware. This spinner is engineered to produce consistent vibrations as the blade rotates around the central wire shaft, maintaining the classic profile that has been a tackle box staple for decades.
