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.
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 dressed Aglia spinners weigh up to 1/2 oz. (#5). The hooks
on dressed Aglias in sizes #1-#5 are dressed with natural
squirrel tail or bucktail.
