Mepps Aglia - the queen of all spinners! Still until today, this original model is the undisputed number 1 on the lure market. Sure, it's been around forever and is considered the blue print for all other spinners, but it has never lost its catchability. From small to large, every predatory fish and every body of water is covered with the same lure. The principle is as simple as it is effective and the way of retrieving is as simple as can be: Cast out and retrieve - the speed can of course be varied, "steady retrieve" or hectic. The round spinner blade spins seductively around its own axis, reflecting light like fish scales and sending out dull pressure waves that magically attract predatory fish of all kinds. No matter if trout in a small stream, perch in a reservoir or big pike in a blocked oxbow lake. Hardly any other artificial lure has as many record fish on its conscience as the Mepps Aglia.
Today, there are many different variations of the traditional lure, such as the Mepps Aglia LongCast models. The name already suggests which characteristics play in the foreground here. The ballistic, bullet-shaped body is more massive and the weight of the body more compact. Thus, the spinner flies significantly further and fishes deeper. Ideal, therefore, for fishing in strong currents or deep waters. At the trout lake, on lake-run trout in the Alps, sea trout on the coast, migrating salmon in the river, or zander, perch and pike in dams. The Aglia LongCast has a wide range of use and perfectly expands the classic series. The round shape of the spinner blade has remained the same and sends the same, dull vibration waves.

Every angler is likely to stumble across this name rather sooner than later. No wonder, because the traditional lures do not only have a long history of success behind them, they are still incredibly effective and fill countless tackle boxes today. As early as 1938, French engineer Andre Meulnard invented the first spinner, which utilized a small metal blade rotating around its own axis. The lure was deadly effective, but he could not yet foresee how much this small lure would revolutionize the fishing industry. It wasn't until after World War II that American Todd Sheldon got his hands on the lure in 1951. A soldier brought the spinner from Europe back to Wisconsin in his home country, where it quickly became a huge success. Today, the small metal lures hang in fishing stores around the world in all shapes, sizes and colors, true to the original principle.
