• Fishing with dressed spinners can produce larger fish, but, when stream trout fishing, you will probably catch more fish using plain spinners.
• Mepps single hook Aglias can be used virtually anywhere single hook lures are required. They are perfect for Alaska.
• Mepps Size 0 - are perfect for panfish (bluegills or sunfish) and small stream trout. They are very light, however, and require a nimble rod, equipped with a light action reel spooled with light line; nothing heavier than six-pound-test. Two-pound-test to four-pound-test is better.
• Mepps Size 1 & 2- are perfect for larger stream trout and large bluegills, sunfish and crappies. Size #2 Aglias are also excellent for smallmouth bass and walleye.

• Mepps Size 3 - are preferred by largemouth bas fisherman.
• Mepps Size 4 - are ideal for large rainbow trout and steelhead, as well as coho (silver) and chinook (king) salmon.
