Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 0 (1970s), 3/32oz spinning lure #15065

Stamped with 'British French Pat' and 'Mepps Aglia 0,' the polished gold blade of this spinner reflects the early international collaborations of the brand. Weighing in at 3/32oz (2.5g), this Size 0 model is a precision instrument designed for light-tackle pursuits in small streams or ponds. The treble hook features a bright red plastic sleeve which serves as a visual target for strikes. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in total length, the lure is mounted on a straight wire shaft with a classic clevis to hold the oval blade. This specific specimen is unused and remains secured to its original 1970s-era cardboard backing under the clear factory film. The reverse of the card provides a vintage guide for targeting various species including bluegill, crappie, and trout.
