Overview

The Mepps Aglia Size 0 is a classic 2.5g inline spinner lure built around the distinctive French-style rotating blade that has made the Aglia one of the most recognisable spinning lures in angling.

It combines a weighted central body with a freely rotating blade and a single treble hook, producing flash and vibration as it moves through the water. The blade operates at approximately 60 degrees to the body, creating a relatively wide spinning profile with a noticeable pulse that predatory fish can detect.

As a sinking lure, the Aglia Size 0 is designed to begin rotating readily on the retrieve, making it a straightforward option for anglers experimenting with different retrieve speeds and depths.

Perfect For

This compact spinner is particularly well suited to light coastal spinning in sheltered harbours, estuary channels and shallow rocky gullies, where small predatory sea fish may respond to its rotating blade.

It also has an established role as the foundation for a traditional baited mullet spinner, where the treble hook is replaced with a short hooklength and a ragworm-baited single hook to target thin-lipped grey mullet in tidal rivers and estuaries. Because of its light 2.5g weight, the Aglia Size 0 is best matched to light spinning tackle and fine line rather than heavy beachcasting gear.

It may also suit small bass or pollack feeding in sheltered, shallow water, though in situations requiring heavier tackle a lightweight lure like this is best avoided to prevent fish reaching snags.

Technical Insight

The Aglia's blade revolves around the central shaft rather than wobbling from side to side like a conventional spoon, and its roughly 60-degree operating angle is what gives the lure its wide spinning action and strong vibration.

This mechanically simple design - weighted body, rotating blade and single treble hook - needs sufficient water flow across the blade to start and maintain rotation, so retrieve speed and current need to be managed carefully.

As a sinking lure sold in Silver, Gold, Copper and Black finishes, it also gives anglers scope to vary presentation according to light and water clarity. Regular fresh-water rinsing and inspection are recommended after saltwater use to protect the hook and moving parts from corrosion.

How do I convert a Mepps Aglia Size 0 into a baited spinner for thin-lipped mullet?

The traditional method involves removing the spinner's treble hook and fitting a short hooklength carrying a small single hook, with a piece of ragworm presented on the trailing hook. The spinner is retrieved slowly enough to keep the blade rotating, with the bait following behind it as an attractor rather than the hook itself. Exact hook size and trace length should be chosen to suit the bait, target fish and conditions rather than treated as a fixed specification.

Why does my Mepps Aglia sometimes fail to spin properly during a slow retrieve?

Small inline spinners need enough water flow across the blade to start and keep it rotating, so a retrieve that's too slow - or fishing with the current - can stop the blade turning. Try a short burst of faster retrieve to get the blade spinning, then ease off while maintaining rotation, and check that grit, weed or damage isn't obstructing it. Mepps also advises against attaching oversized swivels directly to the lure, as they can interfere with its action.

Can the Mepps Aglia Size 0 be used in saltwater without damaging it?

Yes, the Aglia can be used in saltwater, but its components aren't immune to corrosion. After fishing, rinse the lure in fresh water, dry it thoroughly and check the hook, shaft and blade before storing it. If the hook becomes corroded or damaged, or the blade no longer spins freely, replace the hook or retire the lure rather than continuing to use it in a weakened condition.
