Mepps Aglia Micropigments is an inline spinner based on the classic Aglia action, but with a more visible blade finish. Fluorescent tonal transitions and sparkling micropigments create many short flashes during rotation, helping the lure stand out in low light, coloured water and deeper holding spots.
The key feature of this series is the blade covered with crystalline micropigments. During a steady retrieve, the spinner produces not only the classic flash of a rotating blade, but also fine, shimmering reflections visible from different angles. This is especially useful when fish respond to light, but a plain single-colour blade is not visible enough.
Aglia Micropigments was designed mainly with salmonid fishing in mind. Smaller sizes #0 and #1 suit light spinning for trout and grayling, especially in slightly raised water or reduced visibility. Larger models can be used for sea trout and salmon in rivers, as well as on stony Baltic reefs, where fish often react to stronger flash and stable blade rotation.
Although the series has a clear trout and sea-trout character, larger sizes can also work well for pike holding deeper in lakes and zander in reservoir pools. Smaller models are readily taken by perch, especially when a compact but highly visible spinner is needed. It is also a good choice for coloured stocked waters with rainbow trout.
Rainbo Trout is built on a silver blade and suits situations where fish react to a cooler, brighter flash. Brown Trout uses a gold blade, making it useful in warmer light, slightly stained water and venues where trout, sea trout or pike respond better to a warmer reflection.
The series covers sizes from #0 to #5, so it can be matched to light trout spinning as well as stronger fishing for sea trout, salmon, pike or zander. Most of the time it is best retrieved steadily, with good line tension, allowing the blade to work evenly. In current it performs well on a cross-current retrieve, while in still water it can be fished more slowly over drop-offs, pools and deeper flats.
Mepps is one of the most recognisable names in spinning lures. For many anglers, the brand immediately means classic inline spinners, stable blade rotation and simple, proven lures for predators. The range includes Mepps inline spinners and spoons, small models for trout and perch, as well as larger lures for pike, sea trout, salmon, zander and catfish.
Inline spinners are the core of the Mepps range. The classic Aglia, with its wide blade, is well suited to slow and medium retrieves, still water, calmer current, fishing above vegetation and working along the bank. Aglia Long has a narrower blade, creates less resistance and is a better option for current and deeper presentations. Black Fury, Comet, Aglia Fluo, Aglia Neon and Aglia-e make it easier to match colour, contrast and lure action to water clarity, light level and fish activity.
Mepps Syclops spoons are an important part of the range. They are designed for lakes, reservoirs, larger rivers and deeper areas where anglers need longer casting, a wider swimming action or a stronger side flash. Mepps spoons are useful when covering drop-offs, flats, channels, weed edges and places where pike, zander or bigger perch do not always react to a classic inline spinner.
For perch, trout, chub and ide, smaller Mepps spinners in sizes #00 to #2 are usually the most useful. For general river and lake spinning, sizes #2 and #3 are very versatile and can cover perch, trout, chub, ide, smaller pike and zander. For larger predators, it is worth choosing #4 and #5 models, bigger pike spinners, tandem designs or heavier spoons that create a stronger signal and remain visible in bigger water.
Mepps Aglia is the classic choice for slower retrieves and a wide range of venues. Black Fury is useful when a darker outline, stronger contrast and a clear visual target are needed. Comet has a versatile action and works well for perch, trout and river predators. Lusox is mainly associated with pike and deeper presentations, while XD is a good choice when the lure needs to fish lower in the water or work effectively in stronger current.
Silver Mepps spinners are a good choice in clearer water, brighter light and situations where predators react to a strong flash. Gold works well in slightly coloured water, under cloud cover and in venues with a warmer water tone. Copper is worth using for more cautious fish or softer light, while black, fluo and high-contrast versions help in stained water, cloudy weather and situations where a faster reaction strike is needed.
The Mepps range makes it easy to build a lure box for most spinning venues. For small rivers and trout, small inline spinners in natural or contrasting colours are a strong starting point. For perch, small and medium Aglia, Comet, Black Fury and colour-accented versions are useful choices. For pike, larger spinners, Syclops spoons, Lusox and models with a stronger pressure wave and bigger profile are worth considering. For zander and fish holding deeper, heavier models, narrower blades and lures that can reach lower water layers are often the better option.
Mepps spinners and spoons are easy to fish, easy to feel through the rod and effective in many situations. They can quickly check fish activity and cover banks, shallow runs, deeper channels, flats, reed lines and underwater vegetation. A wide choice of sizes, colours and blade types makes it simple to match the lure to the season, water clarity, depth and target species. These are lures that fit both light spinning for perch and trout and stronger predator fishing for pike, sea trout, salmon, zander and catfish.
