Patrick Swinger – Lake Namakagon, Wisconsin

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

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.

Anthony J Fletcher – Strawberry Reservoir, Heber, Utah

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

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.

Philip D Anley – Leech Lake Walker Mn, Indiana

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Musky - Pike, Northern

I fish Leech Lake in Walker Minnesota every year and can't keep the pike off of them best bait I have ever used. I have even caught Bass on them and a smaller Musky. I look forward to my trip this year. I need to stock up on my Mepps and pike!

Paul Evon – Michigan, Michigan

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bass, White - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Crappie (Black) - Perch, Yellow - Pike, Northern - Sunfish (shellcracker) - Catfish, Bullhead (brown, yellow & black)

I have 35 Mepps spinners in my arsenal. Most of them are the Aglia and mostly red and white. I have every size they manufacture (0-5). I have had more luck with these Mepps spinners than any other lure that I have ever used in my over 45 years of fishing. I will be fishing in channels (cuts) with other fisherman around and I am the only one reeling in the fish. They all ask me what's my secret and I just tell them #3 Mepps and they start reeling in the fish. Mepps is a secret weapon in my arsenal. My motto is: if the fish ain't biting on Mepps spinners, then they ain't going to bite here all day. The main sizes I use are #1, #2, and #3. I will use #4 and #5 in the bigger open waters. You can also use #0 and #1 as flies. The Agila's are so versatile you can determine how deep or shallow you want to fish with these lures. Its winter now in Michigan so I am assessing my lure inventory for the coming fishing season. See you all on the fishing waters in 2025!

Alden Stobb – Milwaukee River, Wisconsin

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Smallmouth - Musky - Pike, Northern

I have been fishing with Mepps Aglia Spinners as long as I have fished on the Milwaukee River and caught everything from bass to muskie. I have nothing but great things to say about all Mepps products.

Derek Combs – Middle Fork River Kentucky, Kentucky

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Rock - Bass, Smallmouth - Bass, White - Bluegill (Bream, Brim)

I am a river and creek fisherman. You better have a Mepps. All other in line spinners are no comparison. I've tried them all. Mepps are top notch and when you fish the rivers here you better have a spare because the smallmouth will break 10lbs test. Mepps is the # 1 lure!

Bluegill, Crappie, Perch, Pickerel all in the same day with a Mepps Aglia! A Mepps spinner is the first lure I go with, and am rarely disappointed! I've caught so many varieties of fish over the years on a Mepps spinner, I absolutely love them! Thanks for producing such an awesome product!

Matt Whitegiver – Downeast, Maine

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Smallmouth - Perch, White - Salmon, Atlantic - Trout, Brook - Trout, Lake

I am a Master Maine guide and I own/operate Eagle Mountain Guide Service here in Downeast Maine & I love my Mepps.
  Prior to ice out every year, I'm on the Mepps website building the lures I want for the upcoming season and get my order in.
 Late Spring until the water reaches a certain temp, my sports are casting into the rocky shorelines with Mepps Aglias (Dressed and undressed).                                                It is my favorite time of the Smallmouth season. Slowly working rocky shorelines while my sports cast as close to shore as they can, all the while warning them not to get stuck in the rocks or trees. You have to get it moving the second it hits the water I tell them. Some master it, some don't. Those that don't and lose a lure or 2, wind up with a cheap Chinese spinner the rest of the day. Did I mention I love my Mepps?  Once the big Bass leave the shores for deeper water, I turn to the XD Aglia for a spell. A great lure to extend the spinner fishing a bit until it's time for top water lures and deep diving crank baits.Gotta love a Mepps...

Nick Kaiser – Lake Of The Woods, Ontario., Ontario , Canada

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

I’ve used your double-blades Aglias for years. They are by FAR my favorite lure for Northern Pike. I just finished a week of fishing on Lake of The Woods and the Northern just could not lay off of them. I had three brand new #5s before the trip and all three of them are bent, missing 1/2 the “hair” and most of the paint! Keep up the great work!!

Christian Giannantonio – Salisbury, Vermont

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Pike, Northern

Went fishing while spending a week at a friends lake house. Got countless Northern Pike, with the biggest at 4.80 Lbs. And got a new personal best Largemouth Bass at 3.54 Lbs. The size 3 spinner is my favorite.

Bert Thielman – Bleachers Pond Fall River, Massachusetts

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Pickerel - Catfish, Bullhead (brown, yellow & black)

I have many Mepps lures. When the bite is tough, tie on a Mepps. I use them in cold water up here in the northeast and they don't disappoint. Mepps are great multi species lures, and you can slow roll them or burn them it doesn't matter, there will be a fish on the other end.

Luke Sears – Annapolis, Maryland

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Rock - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Catfish, Blue - Catfish, Channel - Crappie (White) - Perch, White - Pickerel - Sunfish (shellcracker)

I've been using all sorts of lures cheap ones, expensive ones, all kinds, but no other lure has worked as good as a Mepps. They can literally catch any fish. Wherever I go I take one with me because if I see a fishing pond, I know I'm guaranteed to get one with the Mepps.

William Singletary – Tusquiti Creek, North Carolina

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Trout, Rainbow

I was working in North Carolina and there was a creek right in front of the house I had rented. I hadn't had a lot of luck in it, so I went to a place called Fires Creek and caught almost my limit. Well, I came back and said let's try the creek again. I tied on a Thunder Bug I had had for years. My dad bought it for me. Well, second cast and I caught a three pound rainbow. My biggest to date for sure!

Paul Evon – Bad River, St. Charles Michigan, Michigan

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Crappie (White) - Perch, Yellow - Pike, Northern - Catfish, Bullhead (brown, yellow & black)

I have had nothing but the best of luck with the Mepps plain Aglia spinners (# 1, 2, 3)
I like spinners because I have more control of their depth and they do not sink very far down.I have caught bullhead and panfish, all types of bass and the mighty Northern Pike. My guess is that spinners mimmick insects so that would attract just about any species of fish. I have the best luck with the red and white blades. I have over $200 of lures in my tackle box but I only use Mepps spinners 95% of the time. I am a Mepps fan for life.....

Ben Vogt – Craig Creek VA, Virginia

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Trout, Brook

First cast into a new hole, pulled out a 3lb 5 oz brook trout! After that cleaned out the hole of rainbows.

Jeff Cisar – NE Ohio Rivers, Chagrin, Rocky, Cuyahoga, Ohio

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Steelhead

I have been throwing my #3 Hot Orange plain hook Mepps spinner for over 20 years. I have caught hundreds of steelhead on them and this past weekend got my personal best at 31” and 12.1 lbs! In the past few weeks I’ve landed one at 28” and several others in the mid 20’s!
It never gets old feeling the hit with these spinners, even using them in frigid waters. It’s my number 1 “go to” and my buddies ask if I use anything else? Rarely! On occasions I will switch it up, but for my style of fishing it is simply the best! Did I mention the the hundred of big smallmouth bass and channel catfish I’ve caught also? Yeah! It works for them also! Can’t go wrong with these! Cast&Catch my friends!👍🎣

Thomas Craig – Snake River, Above Lower Granite Dam, Washington

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Smallmouth

The last week of October, my daughter & I fished for bass and I caught a 15 inch and a 13 inch small mouth. The temperature was in the 40's and we were cold and left after a couple of hours, but we used noodle rods and Aglia #3 Silver Mepps. Noodle rods are great because even an eight inch bass feels like a big fish and a 15 incher is a real fighter.

Bart Shortall – Chickamicomico River, Maryland

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Snakehead

The #4 Mepps Silver Bladed White Skirt is my absolute go to locator lure for Northern Snakeheads here on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.. 4 outta 4 top 5 finish's in Snakehead Tournaments with the Mepps Aglia!! Great product and they hold up well to the aggressive fighting fish!

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Rock - Bass, Smallmouth - Bass, Striped - Bass, White - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Carp - Catfish, Blue - Crappie (White) - Perch, Yellow

I am a 45 year old woman I have been fishing since I was 3 years old. First started with my grandfather. He had always used nothing but Mepps spinners. So I followed in his foot steps. I try new lures on occasion but have found its a waste of time for me. I will only use Mepps to catch the fish!!! They are the best!!

Gabe Resto – Beaverdam Creek On The Wicomico River In Salisbury, Maryland

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Striped - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Crappie (Black) - Perch, White

I wish I could select Hickory Shad as well, they can't resist a size 0 or 1 plain silver Aglia. A white dressed size 2 Aglia cast right in the spillway wash was the ticket for the stripers.

John Hunter – Tinicum, Pennsylvania

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Striped - Catfish, Channel - Crappie (Black) - Musky - Perch, Yellow - Pickerel - Snakehead

The Mepps number 5 dressed Aglia is my favorite freshwater lure. Its my number one lure for bass and snakehead. It catches anything that swims in freshwater!

Seth Smith – Penns Creek, Weikert, Pennsylvania ,

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Trout, Brown

Weikert parking lot October 5, 2020
Not a sole in sight, after fishing the main section and catching many fish I decided to trek down stream past the bridge. Coming to a deep hole in the back, I tie on a dressed Aglia 2 and toss it out into the limestone stream. 5-6 tosses later... SMACK! Big 24" brownie right in the corner of the mouth. Brown trout approved👌

Bob – Brunswick Hills, Ohio

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

The Mepps Aglia Brown Trout with Gray Squirrel Tail is a go to. We go to Lake Nippissing every year and have our own group tournament. I can bank on the Brown Trout with a Squirrel Tail to catch fish especially casting into the sun and a slow steady retrieve through the tops of weeds in the early evening.
