The Mepps Aglia spinner is the original French spinner. It is the World's #1 Lure. More trophy fish have been caught on the Mepps Aglia than any other lure. The Mepps Aglia is extremely popular with fishermen world-wide because it will catch just about any freshwater fish and many species of saltwater fish.
Lure size is important. The rule of thumb is use smaller lures to catch smaller fish and larger lures to catch larger fish. Keep in mind plain spinners present a smaller profile than dressed spinners, so they will appear smaller to the fish. This makes them perfect for panfish and small stream trout. Fishing with dressed spinners can produce larger fish, but, when stream trout fishing, you will probably catch more fish using plain spinners.
Mepps plain treble or single hook Aglias in size #00 or #0 are perfect for panfish
(bluegills or sunfish) and small stream trout. They are very light, however, and require
a nimble rod, equipped with a light action reel spooled with light line; nothing heavier
than six-pound-test. Two-pound-test to four-pound-test is better. Aglias in size #1 and #2
are perfect for larger stream trout and large bluegills, sunfish and crappies. Size #2
Aglias are also excellent for smallmouth bass and walleye. These sizes are ideal for
teaching youngsters the basics of spinner fishing, as they are heavy enough to cast well
with light tackle, yet they are small enough to catch a wide variety of fish.
Size #4 and # 5 Aglias are ideal for large rainbow trout and steelhead, as well as coho (silver) and chinook (king) salmon.
Mepps single hook Aglias can be used virtually anywhere single hook lures are required. They are perfect for Alaska.
Mepps dressed Aglia spinners come in sizes #00 through #5. A #00 is a Mepps Ultra Lite and it weighs only 1/18 oz. These little trout and panfish lures are dressed with natural hackle. They are also available as wooly worms. The #0 Aglia Spin Fly is also a Wooly Worm. It too is perfect for both panfish and trout and weighs 1/12 oz. Larger dressed Aglias weigh up to 1/2 oz. (#5). The hooks on dressed Aglias in sizes #1-#5 are dressed with natural squirrel tail or bucktail.
Dressed Aglias (Ultra Lites and Wooly Worms) in size #00 or #0 are perfect for panfish (bluegills or sunfish) and small stream trout. They are very light, however, and require a nimble rod, equipped with a light action reel spooled with light line; nothing heavier than six-pound-test. Two-pound-test to four-pound-test is better. Dressed Aglias in size #1 and #2 are perfect for larger stream trout and large bluegills, sunfish and crappies. Size #2 Aglias are also excellent for smallmouth bass and walleye.
Mepps Aglias in sizes #3 and #4 are preferred by largemouth bass fishermen. In fact, the #3 dressed Mepps Aglia was rated the best all around lure for largemouth bass by the readers of Sports Afield magazine.
Size #4 and #5 Aglias are ideal for large rainbow trout and steelhead, as well as coho (silver) and chinook (king) salmon. Northern pike and giant tackle busting musky will inhale a dressed #5 Mepps spinner.

The Mepps Aglia is the classic Mepps spinner. Living up to its name, the Aglia blade has a classic steady beat as it is retrieved. In fact, a musician can count its quick beat... 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4. It's both lively and bright. Because the French blade on the Aglia spins at a steady 60° angle from the spinner's body, its sound is also steady and very easy to hear.

I've been using Mepps for almost 40 years. My grandpa started me with the #2 Black Fury as a kid. It feels like a cheat code. The dressed #3 Aglia is my go to weapon of choice. If I can't catch anything with anything else, I use it. Most times I start with it. I switch up my action with it depending on what is biting. I can usually tell what is biting by having on the Aglia since every species in Iowa that I fish for is attracted to it. If an area is extra mossy or weedy, I still use it. Although straight line spinners will pick up weeds, I keep a heavy test on and can usually pull myself free if I get stuck. Most times I just look for pockets of clear water, toss a perfectly aimed cast, and the fish go crazy!Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Crappie (Black) - Crappie (White) - Perch, Yellow - Pickerel - Pike, Northern

I fish trouts in Italy in the small creeks of the mountain Alps. I use an ultralight setup. Some years ago I decided to use only Mepps spinners, mainly small Aglias. The reason is the quality and reliability of the Mepps lures (produced in France here). With my surprise, after many tests, I discover that the most effective color for trouts is the white GLO that I use extensively everywhere. I don't know why this color is so attractive, may be it reminds some white butterflies, quite common in our mountains, that are usual feed for trouts. Actually this color stop working in the cold season, where silver colors take the lead. I was not able to convince my friends to try the white GLO and they prefer to stay to their usual colors. This is probably part of the human nature.Fish Caught: Musky
I caught a 52” Musky on a Aglia Bait Series #5 Perch, biggest one I caught so far. I always use Mepps to Musky fish and have been very successful. I think these are the best lures out there!Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Catfish, Channel - Crappie (Black) - Pickerel - Catfish, Flathead - Catfish, Bullhead (brown, yellow & black)
I am only 28 years old, but at a very young age my pawpaw gave me a bunch of tackle. Most of it was all different kinds of Mepps lures. Sadly, I've lost most of them and they can't be replaced due to their age, but I'll never use any other lure ever again! Started using Mepps at 6 years old and not stopping anytime soon.Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Musky - Pike, Northern
My fishing buddy and I have fished Lake Namakagon in northern Wisconsin for the last three years. We started using the Aglia pink platinum/pink #5 spinner the first year we were there. My buddy caught a 35 inch musky using it, and this past year he caught a 45 incher. We have caught numerous northern pike and smallmouth bass on this lure. We have great confidence with this lure. It works better than any other lure we have used. No lie.Fish Caught: Trout, Cutthroat
Perfect 2.3lb trout caught off the Mepps again. This is my personal best I have only been fishing for 2 years now and that trout meant more to me than anything. I've trusted Mepps since day one and will continue to as long as they produce lures.Write a product testimonial and share your fishing experiences with other customers.
