Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia Mino 2, 1/4oz Gold spinning lure #5755

Measuring 3 3/4" (9.5cm) in length, this combination of a classic French-style spinner and a soft plastic minnow is a staple for light-tackle collectors. The gold-finished blade displays the vintage 'Mepps Aglia British French Pat' stamping, reflecting the brand's heritage before assembly in the USA. A series of brass and copper-toned weighted beads are stacked on the wire shaft, which leads into a translucent soft plastic body detailed with delicate scales and a distinct blue-green eye. Two treble hooks are integrated into the belly and tail of the minnow for a solid hookset. This specimen, identified by product code 5755, is in excellent 5/5 condition, with the soft trailer remaining supple and the hardware maintaining a bright appearance. Weighing 1/4oz (8g), the design is centered around a precise wire-form construction that supports a balanced profile in various water conditions.
