Stamped clearly on the gold-toned blade is the designation "MEPPS 3 AGLIA," signaling its 1950s heritage and French craftsmanship. This size 3 spinner features a segmented brass body that brings the total weight to 1/4oz (7g), a configuration built for reaching target depth in moving water. The blade itself carries the "BRITISH PATENT BREVETE" markings, a nod to the early patent protections of Andre Meulnart’s 1938 invention. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) from the top loop to the hook bend, the lure retains its original treble hook accented by a vibrant red plastic tube on the shank. The brass and gold surfaces remain bright and the hardware is straight, placing this specimen in 5/5 condition. Found under product code 5754, this Aglia 3 showcases the classic French design that became the foundation for Mepps' global success in the mid-20th century. The wire forms a secure eyelet at the top for a direct tie or snap swivel connection.
