Vintage Mepps Aglia 2 Dressed, 3/16oz Brass spinning lure #0714

The Mepps Aglia lure is highly regarded by anglers worldwide due to its reputation for being able to catch a wide range of fish species in any type of water. The lure has a precise design that enables it to spin smoothly once it hits the water, thanks to the cone rotation system that adapts to the water's current or the speed of the retrieve. Its unique design, including natural squirrel and deer hair dressing with turkey-quill accents, is known for producing the right vibrations that can attract even the most finicky fish.

The wide blade of the Aglia helps it turn quickly when retrieved, creating vibrations that can be felt by fish from far away. Its affordability and ease of use make it a great option for both novice and experienced anglers. The lure is available in various sizes and can be used to catch different fish species, including crappies, pike, bass, walleyes, and trout, for which it is most commonly associated. The Mepps Aglia has a long history dating back to 1938 when it was first invented in France by Andre Meulnart, but it gained popularity in the US in the 1960s thanks to Todd Sheldon, who imported and sold the lures in Wisconsin. The Mepps Aglia is considered the number one spinner in the world and has caught more world-record fish than any other lure ever made, making it a highly desirable option for anglers looking for a reliable and effective fishing lure.
