| Well what I thought that fishing the Minnow River was going to be a loss, it all turned around after 20 minutes of spinning in bright sunny conditions. Fished a 1km section of river that I haven't been to for about 6 yrs and this stretch of river has quite a bit of dense scrub along it, it gave up a few browns today. The river was fairly low and still had it's usual dark tannin colour to it which I don't mind as this gives the fish that beautiful golden glow, when out of the water and makes for a great photo. Started off with a Mepps #00 Gold Aglia spinner and things were a little slow for a while as I never had a follow or even spooked a fish in the shallow water. Then after spinning my way slowly upstream finally hooked into a nice solid little brown and after a brief fight had this 510gm fish on the bank for a quick photo and then released back for another day. Over the next 150 meters or so had two more hook-ups but these didn't hang around as they were off the spinner as quick as they hit it. I wasn't too bothered though as I was happy with how the day had gone so far and it was still a top afternoon on the Minnow. Another 100 meters or so I and then hooked into another fat brown and this fish was a little smaller than the first was also released back into the river. With only a short distance left before getting back to the Trout Stalker ute the brown of the day, he gave me one hell of a fight in this small body water. After racing upstream and then back down again and making several leaps for freedom he was on the river bank, and it was a beautiful golden specimen too. The red spots with the white rings around them really stood out on this fish that tipped the scales at 690gms of pure muscle, only problem was he had swallowed the Aglia and was bleeding from the gills. When this happens, I never put them back into the river as they won't survive any way, so out with the donger and it was all over in a flash. This stretch of river doesn't allow for any mistakes when casting as it has a lot of very tight stretches of water and acurracy is a must. So, yes I had another great day out on one of Tassies great little streams once again, hmmmmmmmm! Just love them, cheers. Adrian Webb, Tasmania, Australia | |

| Decided to go and have another stint of spinning in the Minnow River again this afternoon and it was another fine day on it too. Great weather conditions once again greeted us so headed to one of my other overgrown areas of the river. After bush bashing my way there I slipped into the river and started spinning my way upstream using the same #00 gold Aglia and it wasn't too long before I had my first fish. This one didn't have the bright rich colours like yesterdays fish but it was still a nice solid brown at 460gms. As I fished on, I had another few hit and misses over the next 100 -150 metres before landing another 2 browns and these were smaller fish of 340gms each, but still great little battlers. Finally when I was nearly to the bush exit to where the ute was I hooked two more of which only the one was landed. All fish caught today were in excellent condition and released to fight another day hopefully. If we get a few good days of rain in the next week fishing should pick up as there were still quite a few fish about that were spooked by my movement in the water. This is always a problem when fishing in very low water, the sound of movement on the bottom does it every time. It's always harder in rivers like the Minnow that are small and shallow plus with the dark colour of the water you can't see where you are placing your feet. But that's what makes it so good and it's a real challenge that I love every time I hit this river, or any river actually. This stretch of river is also very challenging and accurate casting is required for nearly 85%-90% of the time. If you stray off line and have to go and retrieve the lure then all you do is spook any fish that's ahead of you. All that does is make it that little bit harder to get into some fish and can ruin your day. | |

| I've never found a better, more consistently effective trout lure than the Mepps 00 Ultra Lite dressed single. Maroon, black, and white have all worked exceptionally for me. I've caught countless brookies and rainbows on Wisconsin and Upper Michigan streams. It fools even the most wiley native trout. I've caught smallmouth, bluegill, perch, you name it on this lure. 2-pound smooth casting line, an ultra lite rod and reel set-up, and a Mepps 00 is all I need on the water. | |

| This is my go-to lure when fishing gets tough. I have caught everything from a 2 ounce bluegill to a 4 pound largemouth on this fantastic lure! Great job Mepps!!! | |

| This is the best spinner Mepps makes in my experience. I've been out more than once with a lot of people fishing an area and not getting much of anything while I'm getting trout to at least hit on every cast with these. I like all three colors(Silver, Gold and Copper) be sure to change it up often. These are a great trout lure, one of my best without a doubt but they also catch some BIG bass and panfish. Not to mention I've had good size northern pike go after these as well. All in all an awesome lure for any ultra lite fisherman and that's why I always have 5 of every color in my box. | |

| I absolutely love these for stream trout. Silver, Copper or Gold are all great and I keep at least half a dozen of each in my box at all times. Without a doubt my go-to spinner in streams. In faster or deeper water, I add a split shot about a foot from the spinner to keep the lure down deeper and I always fish it S-L-O-W. I prefer the single hook because I do a lot of C&R fishing and the single hook does less damage to the fish. As an added bonus they don't snag as easy as the trebles. | |

| These are great with a 4"9 ultral-lite rod and 2lb test line. I wish I could find them in more stores. WalMart always has a few... but never enough! They may be small... But I have caught trout well over 20 inches on them! One of my favorite's! | |

| We got up really early in the morning to get us some fish for breakfast, but, for the first hour we didn't even feel a nibble. I tied on the Mepps Ultra Lite treble and pulled out a brook trout on the second cast. I moved up to where my friend was fishing and cast in and pulled out a big rainbow. He asked me for one of my Aglia Ultra Lites and in an hour and a half we went back to camp with 6 nice fish including a giant brown. Not to mention the half dozen we released. | |

| I love this product for Trout. I've caught alot of Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass as well and some great panfish. This without a doubt is the lure I depend on for Trout. I don't know what I'd do if you guys quit making it. I like to fish it as slow as possible for nice Browns and 'Bows. My biggest Brown on this was 16 inches and the Rainbow was 22 inches. This lure definitely caught me some great fish including an 8 lb largemouth and a 6 lb. Smallie. | |
