What’s New?
Following last year’s success with the Aglia® Tandem, (tandem
hooks), we’ve followed it up with the Mepps® Double Blade
Aglia®, an Aglia® with two blades for increased flash
and vibration. This deadly duo also increases
visibility which, in turn, increases your
catch rate.

Lead Free?
If Mepps® lures are all lead-free why do you
have a lead warning on your packaging?
Good question – All Mepps blades and bodies are brass, and the wires
are stainless steel. Most of our hooks are high carbon steel because high
carbon steel can be sharpened to a needle point and it will stay sharp. All
of these components are virtually lead-free. Brass, however, has a trace
amount of lead to prevent brittleness. It makes the brass malleable so it
can be formed into spinner parts. The federal Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) lead level standard is 5%. The lead level in our lure bodies
(depending on the size) is between 2 and 3¼%, well below the EPA

Serious fishermen who spend a lot of time on the water will
truly appreciate the Mepps® Double Blade Aglia®. It’s perfect
for smallmouth and largemouth bass, trophy northern pike
S2-W
and early-season musky. Why two blades? Dual blades
create additional flash. This, in turn increases the intensity
of the blade colors as they spin, whether the blades are the
same color or contrasting colors. In addition, the sound and
vibration they make is noticeably different than a spinner
with a single blade. Two blades also produce more loft so
SBLP-W they are easier to fish over weeds and other structure. Gold
blades are polished brass. Copper blades are copper plated,
while silver blades are plated with genuine silver so they
produce a bright white flash that’s easily seen underwater.
Platium blades are coated with a tough acrylic finish for
added durability. Other painted blades feature a rugged vinyl
finish. Solid brass bodies, a durable stainless steel shaft, a pair
of rugged folded solid brass clevises, and bronze plated extra
RBT2-W sharp carbon steel hooks means this lure will hold up under
the toughest fishing conditions. All tails are hand-tied with
genuine bucktail and dyed in brilliant fish-attracting colors.
