Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 5 Flying C, 3/4oz nickel/blue spinning lure #19741

Weighted at 3/4oz (21g), this heavy-duty spinner is a classic choice for deep-water river fishing where staying down in the current is the priority. The nickel/blue blade on this Mepps Aglia 5 Flying C shows character through some surface wear on the blue glitter finish, earning it a 4/5 condition rating. On the reverse side of the blade, the clear 'Mepps Aglia Made in France' stamp remains sharp, signifying the brand's long-standing manufacturing heritage. Stretching 3 1/2" (9cm) in total length, the lure features a distinctive yellow rubber sleeve that shields the weighted internal core and extends into a split tail over the treble hook. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 19741, retains its original hardware and displays the 'Flying C' branding alongside a '7/8 oz' marking on the blade face. The wire form is straight and the top clevis allows the oversized blade to rotate freely around the bright yellow body.
