Mepps Aglia Flying C Lure

For salmon anglers who need a lure to get down deep and fast, the Mepps Aglia Flying C has been designed to deliver. A firm favourite amongst salmon anglers all over the UK, thanks to its reliable performance and fish catching capabilities!

Mepps is a legendary brand with a rich history of creating some of the finest, most effective lures ever. As the original creator of the Aglia spinner, Mepps is known for its precision engineering and commitment to quality. The Mepps Aglia Flying C is a perfect example of their innovation, combining their proven blade technology with a specialised body design to meet the demands of serious salmon anglers.

The Mepps Aglia Flying C is a unique hybrid that brings together the classic flash and vibration of an Aglia blade with the heavy, deep-sinking profile of a Flying C lure. It features a compact, weighted body and a fluorescent plastic sleeve that acts as a highly visible attractor in murky or deep water. Its design allows it to sink quickly and run true, cutting through strong currents without spinning out. The lure’s aerodynamic shapes also makes it possible to cast extreme distances, giving you a huge advantage when fishing from the bank or when you need to cover a wide area.

This spinner is particularly effective for powerful, predatory fish like salmon and large trout, even pike can be tempted with this lure!

The Mepps Flying C comes in a range of colours and sizes, designed for differing water conditions. Heavier lures are fantastic for casting long distances and fishing in deeper/higher water, with the lighter lures being perfect for smaller, more shallow rivers or in low water conditions.

The colouration of the lures can be extremely important for catching that once in a lifetime salmon, with black being the preferred all-rounder colour, as the silhouette stands out extremely well in all water conditions. Red and Orange are two other very popular colours, standing out in all water conditions but especially in water that has risen quickly and is running dirty, making the bright colours stand out to salmon!

The flying C lure is designed to be fished as slow as possible, as salmon tend to sit at the bottom of a river waiting for higher water. The lure allows you to fish a stretch of water with an extremely slow retrieve, ensuring the lure stays close to the salmon, helping to provoke an aggressive take from these magnificent fish.

We here at angling active would advise you to cast upstream in the river, and let the current drift the lure around whilst retrieving incredibly slowly, giving any nearby fish plenty of time to chase and take your lure.

This lure is fitted with an ultra-sharp treble hook at the base, and is made from high-quality solid brass.
