Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Hot Pink 4, 1/3oz Pink / Gold spinning lure #1913

Three stacked hot pink beads on the wire shaft lead the eye toward a large single hook on this vintage 1/3 oz (9 g) spinner. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in total length, the lure features a size 4 Aglia blade with a high-visibility pink front and a classic gold-finished reverse, stamped with the manufacturer's hallmark indicating components made in France. This particular specimen carries the product code 1913 and represents the standard for the Mepps design legacy that dates back to Andre Meulnart's 1938 invention. The condition is rated 5/5, showing a clean finish on the painted surfaces and a bright shine on the gold plating. Components assembled in the USA highlight the international history of the brand, while the clevis mount ensures the blade begins its rotation immediately upon the retrieve.
