Mepps dressed Aglia spinners
come in sizes #00 through #5. A #00 is a Mepps Ultra Lite and it weighs only
1/18 oz. These little trout and panfish lures are dressed with natural hackle.
They are also available as wooly worms. The #0 Aglia Spin Fly is also a Wooly
Worm. It too is perfect for both panfish and trout and weighs 1/12 oz. Larger
dressed Aglias weigh up to 1/2 oz. (#5). The hooks on dressed Aglias in sizes
#1-#5 are dressed with natural squirrel tail or bucktail.
Lure size is important. The general rule of thumb is use smaller lures to catch
smaller fish and larger lures to catch larger fish.
Dressed Aglias (Ultra Lites and Wooly Worms) in size #00 or #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. Dressed Aglias in size #1 and #2 are perfect for
larger stream trout and large bluegills, sunfish and crappies. Size #2 Aglias
are also excellent for smallmouth bass and walleye.
