Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 5 UV, 1/2oz Chartreuse Fluo UV spinning lure #9325

Size 5 blades provide substantial surface area, and this Chartreuse Fluo UV specimen weighs in at a solid 1/2 oz (14 g). Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, the lure features the classic Aglia oval blade, clearly stamped with the manufacturer's mark. A series of graduated chartreuse beads with dark accents forms the weighted body, leading down to a sharp treble hook protected by a vibrant red strike tube. Under UV light, the fluorescent pigment on the blade and body reacts with a distinct green luminescence, a technical feature designed for visibility in deep water or during overcast conditions. Assembled in the USA using high-quality components originally manufactured in France, this piece maintains the structural standards established by Andre Meulnart in 1938. The spinner’s clevis and wire assembly are straight, and the paint finish shows excellent coverage across both metal and plastic components. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure presents as a clean and well-preserved example of UV technology applied to a classic fishing profile. Product Code 9325.
