| Mepps Aglia Long Plain Single & Treble Hook Spinners |
 |
The Mepps Aglia Long is a deep running willow leaf spinner. Its blade “hugs” the body of the spinner during retrieve, allowing it to stay in deep pockets long enough to attract the wariest fish. Like most Mepps spinners, the Aglia Long is available in both treble and single hooks. Plain and dressed.
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 Aglia Longs come in sizes #00 through #4. A #00 is an Ultra Lite spinner. It weighs only 1/18 oz. A #4 Aglia Long, by contrast weighs 1/2 oz. The Mepps Aglia Long, like 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.
Mepps plain treble or single hook Aglia Longs in size #00 or are perfect for panfish (bluegills or sunfish).
#00 and #0 plain Aglia Longs will catch small stream trout. The #1 Aglia Long is perfect for larger stream
trout. Size #1, #2, & #3 Aglia Longs are excellent for smallmouth bass and walleye.
Size #3 and #4 Aglia Longs are ideal for large rainbow trout and steelhead, as well as coho (silver) and chinook (king) salmon.

8 Reasons why the Mepps Aglia Long
will help you catch more fish |
|
The Mepps Aglia Long features unsurpassed Mepps quality throughout. Here are eight reasons why the Mepps Aglia Long will help you catch more fish:
- Strong and durable, imperfection-free, Swedish Sandvic stainless steel shaft wound and clipped in a manner to securely hold the entire lure together. Sandvic stainless steel is of the highest quality and will not break, rust or corrode even after repeatedly landing fish.
- Precisely machined, solid brass components are perfectly balanced to maintain maximum stability at all retrieval speeds. Poured components do not possess the same uniformity and lack the ability to perform as consistently as those that are machined.
- Genuine silver plating with a meticulously-applied, tarnish-resistant, epoxy clear-coat finish for one bright flash after another as the lure is pulled through the water. The flash produced by inferior metals such as nickel or chrome is not nearly as bright or as white in color as silver under the same conditions.
- Water-activated, self-lubricating, folded clevis allows the blade to begin spinning freely as soon as the lure hits the water. A folded clevis not only out-performs a stir-up style clevis, it is much stronger and far more durable as well.
- Naturally deep-running, willow-leaf shaped blade featuring a unique rainbo-scale decal. The decal reflects a prism of light containing all shades of the color spectrum, much like the scales on a fish, as the blade spins in the water.
- Extra-strong, razor-sharp, perfectly-honed premium quality hook to achieve the highest hooking percentage possible. Using a bigger and stronger hook also significantly increases the lure’s ability to keep a big fish on and get it into the boat.
- Exclusive, unbreakable strike-attractor bead (and/or tube) entices more fish to strike. The “hot spot” created by the bead (and/or tube) gives the fish a specific spot to target as it closes in for the strike.
- Hand-tied, premium-grade bucktail dressed treble hook secured by the strongest of waterproof epoxies for outstanding durability even after repeated use. A turkey quill strike attractor provides just enough contrast to entice the weariest of fish to strike.

| Reviewer: | August Mancuso (Remington Trails Pond, Katy, Texas) | | Fish Caught: | Bass, Largemouth | | | Caught a 10lb bass (have picture) on my Mepps Aglia #1 red and white blade. It's the one I go to when I'm not sure what to use. Covers a lot of water. It remains one of my primary go-to-lures when I'm unsure what to use. It has caught many a fish, trout and bass, and it has now caught my biggest bass to date. Thanks guys! |
| | | Reviewer: | Jack McLaren (Boundary Waters) | | Fish Caught: | Pike, Northern | | | I've caught the biggest Northern Pike of my life (40 inches) on a number 2 Mepps Hot Firetiger Aglia Long. This was the only lure that was working when we were in the boundary waters. The pike and bass went nuts over it! I've never tried it in my home waters, but, I'm sure with the flash it puts out it will catch fish. |
| | | Reviewer: | Scott (Illinois River, Gore OK, Oklahoma) | | Fish Caught: | Trout, Rainbow | | | A great spinner - a 0 or 1 in silver, especially in the morning is my chosen lure for rainbows. Nice for medium pockets of water - like all Mepps has great action, and, for some reason in the 4-8 feet of water where the rainbows like to hide at the beginning or end of a pool - this is a "killer." |
| | | Reviewer: | Steven Hertkorn (Delaware Canal, Yardley, Pennsylvania) | | Fish Caught: | Pickerel | | | This was the first time I have ever used this small Aglia Long, the blade size was only a 1, but by my third cast, I had a pretty nice sized pickerel. This lure I bought from a small bait store and it seems to be an older one, the blade was weird, the packaging was different from the other Aglia Longs that I have bought. But this lure is one of my favorites and all I fish with is Mepps spinners. |
| | | Reviewer: | Guillaume (Richelieu River, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada) | | Fish Caught: | Bass, Smallmouth - Pike, Northern | | | I bought the Aglia Long #3 and directly went fishing. After 5 minutes, I caught some bass and 2 days later, I caught a nice northern pike. I didn't think I could with that kind of lure, I can't wait to go purchase other sizes and colors. |
| | | Reviewer: | Adam (Louisville, Kentucky) | | Fish Caught: | Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Crappie (Black) | | | I have found a favorite with the Aglia Long #2 w/ hot Firetiger blade. Within the last week, I have caught Crappie, Bluegill, Large and Small-mouth, and believe it or not several Catfish (on a spinner!)I love it. |
