FAQs

What kind of fish can I catch with this spinner?

The Mepps Aglia Long spinner can attract a variety of fish, including trout, salmon, bass, walleye, and panfish.

What sizes should I use?

Size 0 and 1 are good for smaller streams and panfish. Sizes 2 and 3 are better for larger rivers, lakes and bigger fish like trout and bass.

How do I prevent line twist?

Use a ball bearing swivel between your main line and the spinner.

What is the best retrieve technique?

A steady, moderate retrieve is usually best, but experiment with different speeds to find what works.

How do I maintain the spinner?

Rinse with fresh water after each use. Store in a dry place.

What line should I use?

Monofilament or fluorocarbon lines are recommended. Consider the breaking strength relative to the size of the fish you're targeting.

Why is the willow leaf blade important?

The willow leaf blade 'hugs' the spinner body allowing it to stay in deep pockets long enough to attract a wide variety of fish.
