Collection: Mepps Lures

Mepps spinners are among the most proven trout lures in the world — a French-designed inline spinner that has been catching fish on every continent for over 70 years. The Mepps Aglia, the brand’s flagship spinner, features a hand-crafted French blade that begins spinning at the slowest possible retrieve speed, producing flash and vibration that attracts trout, bass, pike, and virtually every other freshwater predator. Glenwood Springs Outdoors carries Mepps spinners in the sizes and colors that produce consistently on Western Colorado’s rivers, streams, and reservoirs.

Mepps Aglia – The World’s #1 Lure

The Mepps Aglia is widely recognized as the world’s best-selling fishing lure — a distinction earned through decades of consistent fish-catching performance across species and conditions. The Aglia’s hand-crafted French blade is balanced to spin at the slowest possible retrieve speed, making it effective even in slow current and cold water when fish are lethargic and reluctant to chase fast-moving lures. The blade’s flash and vibration trigger the lateral line response in trout and other predators, producing strikes even from fish that aren’t actively feeding.

Mepps for Colorado Trout Fishing

Mepps spinners excel in Colorado’s diverse trout fisheries — from the fast pocket water of the Roaring Fork and Crystal Rivers to the deep, clear water of Ruedi Reservoir and Rifle Gap. In rivers, cast across the current and retrieve at a pace that keeps the blade spinning while the lure swings through likely holding water. In reservoirs, vary your retrieve depth and speed to locate fish and trigger strikes. Smaller sizes (0 and 1) excel for stream trout; larger sizes (3, 4, and 5) produce on reservoir rainbows, browns, and lake trout.

Mepps Colors & Sizes

Mepps spinners are available in plain and dressed (with squirrel tail or bucktail) versions across a wide range of colors. Gold blades excel in low-light conditions and stained water; silver blades produce in bright conditions and clear water. Dressed versions add extra action and profile that can trigger strikes from finicky fish.
