Weighing in at 3/5oz (16g), this substantial spinner features the classic Mepps engineering that has defined freshwater fishing for decades. The oversized blade is clearly stamped with "5 MEPPS AGLIA MADE IN FRANCE," a nod to the brand's heritage starting with Andre Meulnart’s 1938 invention. This specific 0016 model specimen combines a bright steel blade with a multi-part body composed of brass and red-striped accents for high visibility. The dressing consists of a thick, hand-tied black bucktail tail, a signature feature of the Musky Killer series designed to provide a larger profile when cast or trolled. Assembled in the USA using French components, the lure displays quality craftsmanship in the precisely turned wire and the way the blade hangs from its clevis. The condition is a solid 4/5, showing light signs of age on the metal surfaces while the vibrant red lettering on the blade remains sharp and legible. The black feathered dressing is well-preserved, maintaining its fullness around the hook.
