Rainbow Fluo finishes like the one on this size 5 blade are specifically engineered to maximize visibility in low-light conditions through UV-reactive technology. Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14g) with a total length of 3 1/4" (8 cm), this lure features the iconic wide Aglia blade designed for immediate rotation using a specialized cone system. The central shaft carries four graduated orange and red beads, terminating in a sharp treble hook shielded by a fluorescent red sleeve. Identified by product code 9096, this specimen is a product of French-made components assembled in the USA, a hallmark of the brand's quality control since the mid-20th century. The blade displays a smooth color transition from a lime green top to a vibrant orange base, marked clearly with the Mepps Aglia branding and size 5 stamp. When exposed to ultraviolet light, the blade surface exhibits a brilliant green and yellow glow, providing a visual advantage in stained water. This particular item remains in excellent form with crisp lettering and vibrant paint, warranting a condition rating of 5/5.
