how well do MEPPS spinners actually work? 

I've been using Mepps spinners since the mid 60's and still using them today in the rivers here in Tasmania., 95% of the trout I catch & release during the trout season are on Mepps inline spinners. Great video too, thanks for sharing.. cheers Adrian (meppstas) brand ambassador for Mepps Lures in Australia..

I never really used to use lures until a few years ago, worms being my go to bait, but last summer me and my dad went fishing, we caught our limit of panfish on worms and decided to head in before the heat of the day really started to beat on us on the lake, but as we went in i decided to just grab a random lure from my tackle box and it happened to be a gold mepps spinner, i tossed it in and honestly didnt expect to catch anything as were probably going a bit too fast for trolling in shallow 2-3 feet of water but i was very wrong, almost immediately i caught a really decent 19 1/2" bass, which i kept and as we kept going in to shore i caught two more bass just an inch or two under the limit, i was really surprised and dad was too as he always thought of those spinners as a pike lure, but after a few other trips using the lure im pretty sure you can catch just about anything on them, they really do live up to their reputation as being a bulletproof lure.

They are awesome fish catchers! Trout, Bass, Crappie, Bluegill etc. I’ve have used them since 13 years old and still do at 76 years young!🌈

Beautiful. More trout have been caught on a Mepps, than any other inline spinners. The Aglia with a fuzzy tail has been my 'goto' for browns.

When I was a kid in the 70's, I used to spin for Perch & Chubb using "Mepps Agulia 0" down on the Thames at Cookham.I had plenty of both species,on my Walworth bought Mepps.

When nothing else works mepps always does. I fish alot of panfish and bass and I won't even leave home without them.

Interesting video I love Mepps spinners. For Lakeland Perch and indeed pike they often save the day. Salmo Hornets and Mepps are my go to lures.

Hands down the best mepps is the size 0 copper blade spinner for small creek trout fishing. I use size1 in the rivers. Never fails.

thanks for sharing awesome video and may i know how heavy the mepps you are using??

my favourite right now is a 3/4 oz. mepps perch spinner with a gold blade for trout

Mepps aglia for trout and mepps lusox for pike have been my favorites lures since for over 40 years and i have no intention of changing.😊😊 Have a good day.

All I've ever owned are Mepps and Rooster Tail. Great selection and quality in both brands

I love Meps spinners for trout size 0 or size 1 works wet for me both in brass and silver with blue and red dots ❤

Fantastic video mate I am trying to get into trout fishing too bought myself some MEPPS spinner now trying to work out the right fishing line, rod and reel combo

I started using them in 1967, the Black Fury is the best lure for me when the river is in spate,

Abu Droppen was a great fish catcher as was the Mepps.

they are great for perch and pike too. Some chub will also take them too which is always a nice bonus when they do!

The savage gear spinners are super as well.:)

I've caught a 8 lb catfish, smallmouth bass and panfish using Mepps agila #1- awesome lures. You get your moneys worth in one day of fishing (on a good day of course).

Great video, curious though, how do you stop your line from twisting when using your mepps ? Mine always tangles up when spinning for a while. 😊😊

I love Panter martin in-line spinners my self

Since they have been around since 1933 I'd say they work pretty darn good.

Just caught a 3 pound bass today on a mepps aglia size two from Walmart 😁

Mepps usually good with the browns, browns eat mepps and super dupers, rainbows like panther Martin and Bluefox, Brooks and cutthroat like tiny kastmasters , Grant it all the trout minus larger Lakers will eat any I mentioned

Blue fox spinners are great too

Hello sir how manny number is spinner.?

Say, what kinda camera are you using here?

I just came home from trout fishing with Mepps Agila spinners. I'm a believer. I tried half a dozen lures today, including Vibrax spinners, and nothing caught trout except Mepps #2 for me. I think Mepps works better than Vibrax where I am cause the streams are fast moving and Vibrax just can't sink down at all. Good video!

Great for big chub, trout..

Nice video 👌👌👌👌

Can fish hear sound?

I mean what kind of question is this really? Any Lure works great, sometimes under the right conditions lol..

Bro is size 5 is good or not for the small fist to catch

They're my favorite lures

Black Fury seems to catch fish when other lures fail.

keep that fish in the water...right away i didnt like how long you kept that first one out

I can honestly say in 50 years of trout and salmon fishing in uk and ireland i have only caught two seatrout on a mepps. I have tried them on every outing. The devon minnow was my most succesful lure in different sizes. Then the amazing flying C.....16lb salmon on the towy, 8lb seatrout on the moy my best. So bye bye mepps say i.

Nobody ever taught you about over handling trout that you plan to throw back? It can ruin the natural slime and make them sick

Your tennis racket has seen better days.
