Overview

The Mepps Aglia Size 3 is a 6.5g classic inline spinner built around the original French-style rotating blade that has made the Aglia range one of the best-known spinner designs in angling. Unlike a conventional spoon that wobbles side to side, the Aglia's blade revolves fully around the lure's central shaft as it's retrieved, creating a wide spinning profile.

At 6.5g, the Size 3 sits above the 4.5g Size 2 and 3.5g Size 1 in the Aglia range, giving a larger rotating-blade presentation and extra casting weight for anglers using light spinning tackle. It comes fitted with one treble hook as standard and is available in Silver, Gold and Copper finishes, letting anglers vary the lure's appearance to suit changing light and water conditions.

Despite the step up in size, the Aglia Size 3 remains a genuinely light lure and is best matched to a spinning rod rated to cast 6.5g effectively rather than conventional heavy shore gear.

Perfect For

For UK sea anglers, the Mepps Aglia Size 3 is worth considering for light coastal spinning when bass and pollack are feeding within range of light lure tackle. A steady retrieve keeps the blade spinning continuously through sheltered coastal water, harbour approaches and accessible rocky marks, producing a steady stream of flash and vibration.

The lure can also form the basis of a traditional baited spinner for thin-lipped grey mullet, where the treble hook is removed and replaced with a short hooklength and ragworm-baited single hook. The Size 3's larger weight makes it a bit more substantial than the smaller Aglia 0, 1 and 2, so anglers wanting a more delicate presentation in shallow estuary water may prefer a smaller size.

Technical Insight

The defining feature of the original Aglia is its blade, designed to rotate at approximately 60° to the shaft rather than simply wobbling. This wide rotation angle produces a strong, regular vibration and repeated flashes of light as it revolves, and it's effective even at relatively slow retrieve speeds, so anglers don't need to wind quickly to keep the blade working.

Because the rotating blade creates lift and resistance in the water, faster retrieves tend to bring the Aglia higher in the water column, while a slower, controlled retrieve after allowing the lure to sink helps it fish deeper. Anglers fishing near submerged structure should manage retrieve speed and depth carefully to avoid snagging the treble hook on rocks or weed.

Should I choose the Mepps Aglia Size 2 or Size 3 for coastal spinning?

The Size 2 weighs 4.5g, while the Size 3 weighs 6.5g. The Size 3 provides a larger rotating-blade presentation and additional casting weight, making it worth considering when you need slightly more reach or a more noticeable lure. The Size 2 is better suited to anglers wanting a smaller presentation or using particularly light spinning rods. Choose according to your rod's casting rating, fishing conditions and target species.

Can the Mepps Aglia Size 3 be used to target thin-lipped mullet?

Yes, it can be converted into a traditional baited mullet spinner by removing the treble hook and adding a short hooklength with a ragworm-baited single hook. However, the 6.5g Size 3 is heavier and larger than the Aglia Sizes 0, 1 and 2. For delicate presentations in sheltered estuaries, one of the smaller sizes may be easier to control. The best choice depends on the depth, tidal flow and casting distance required.

Why might the Mepps Aglia Size 3 run closer to the surface than expected?

The original Aglia has a relatively wide blade rotation angle of approximately 60°. Its rotating blade creates resistance and lift during retrieval, so faster winding can bring the spinner higher in the water. To fish deeper, allow the lure to sink to a suitable depth before beginning a controlled retrieve and adjust your winding speed. Avoid allowing it to sink into rocks or weed where the treble hook may snag.

What's the difference between the Mepps Aglia Size 3 and the Mepps Aglia Long Size 3?

The standard Aglia Size 3 weighs 6.5g and uses the original blade rotating at approximately 60°, giving it different swimming characteristics to the Mepps Aglia Long Size 3, which weighs 11.5g and uses a narrower blade rotating at approximately 30°. The two lures shouldn't be treated as interchangeable when choosing tackle or technique.
