Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Aglia 2 (1980s), 3/16oz Silver / Black / White spinning lure #15345

Black and white stripes accent the silver-plated blade of this size 2 spinner, a classic design choice from the 1980s. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and weighing in at 3/16 oz (4.5 g), this specimen remains in its original vintage packaging and is unused. The blade features the iconic stamped "Mepps" branding and a bold numeral indicating its size, mounted on a brass clevis. Below the weighted body, the treble hook is equipped with a translucent red sleeve, providing a distinct target point for fish. Produced by Sheldon’s Inc. in Antigo, Wisconsin, the packaging lists recommendations for everything from panfish and trout to bass and northern pike. The reverse side of the card still features the classic 25-cent coupon offer for the Mepps Fisherman’s Guide, reflecting the brand's long-standing connection with the angling community. A single brass bead serves as the bearing for the blade rotation, while the green and white cardstock remains crisp and well-preserved.
