Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the size 4 blade is finished in a deep red that contrasts sharply with the brass-toned reverse side. This Mepps Aglia Platinum 4, identified by product code 1902, features the iconic "MADE IN FRANCE" stamping on its underside, signaling the origin of its high-quality components. The body is constructed with three metallic red beads and two tapered brass spacers that facilitate the rotation of the clevis on the wire frame. A solid red plastic tube covers the shank of the treble hook, matching the primary color scheme of the blade. This specimen is in unused condition, with the enamel finish and metallic plating retaining their original luster. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), the Aglia utilizes a wide blade design and a cone rotation system to turn quickly during a retrieve. Its assembly in the USA using French-made parts reflects the long-standing manufacturing collaboration that established Mepps as a global leader in spinner technology. The size 4 blade and weighted body provide the mass needed for casting into varied freshwater environments.
