Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Fluo 4 dressed, 1/3oz Brass / Fluorescent spinning lure #1085

Measuring exactly 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this specimen carries the distinct weight of 1/3 oz (10 g) making it a substantial choice for larger freshwater species. The size 4 blade is finished in a striking fluorescent gradient that moves from deep orange through yellow to bright green, providing high contrast for the eye. On the back of the blade, the "MADE IN FRANCE" hallmark remains crisp, reflecting the manufacturer's heritage and the precision of the brass components. This specific variant, product code 1085, is constructed with three chartreuse beads and a dressed treble hook featuring natural hair tied with a clean red thread wrap. Rated at a condition of 4/5, the lure presents beautifully with well-preserved paint on the blade and bright hardware throughout. The assembly remains tight and true, from the top wire loop down to the sharp points of the dressed hook.
