Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 5 Fluo UV, 1/2oz Chartreuse spinning lure #9060

A vibrant Chartreuse finish defines this specific specimen, engineered for high visibility in stained or deep waters. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, this Mepps Aglia 5 Fluo UV is built on a robust frame originating from France. The oversized #5 blade is stamped with the classic brand markings and utilizes a cone rotation system designed to engage and create vibrations immediately upon the retrieve. This particular model, identified by product code 9060, features a body of segmented beads in contrasting black and neon tones that match the UV-reactive properties of the blade. At the business end, a sharp treble hook is fitted with a protective red sleeve, adding a strike point for following fish. This lure presents in 5/5 condition, maintaining the clean aesthetics of its original French manufacturing. The fluorescent properties are most evident under ultraviolet light, where the specialized coating provides a distinct glow designed to stay visible when natural light fades.
