Stamped with 'MADE IN FRANCE' on its reverse side, this size 5 blade highlights the European manufacturing roots of a legendary design. This brass-colored specimen weighs 1/2 oz (14 g) and measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, representing a classic 1970s era Mepps Aglia. The front of the blade is deeply engraved with 'MEPPS AGLIA 5' along with British and French patent information and a U.S. pending notice, a nod to the brand's mid-century global expansion. A bright red plastic sleeve is fitted over the shank of the treble hook, serving as a high-visibility strike point against the gleaming gold-toned body. The body itself consists of four graduated brass beads that provide the necessary weight for casting and stability. This teardrop-shaped blade is designed to utilize a cone rotation system, allowing it to spin freely around the wire axis. Identified by product code 10601, the lure is in well-preserved condition, earning a 4/5 rating for its clean hardware and legible stampings. It represents the historical period when high-quality components made in France were assembled for the North American market.
