Giant Bluegill on Ultralight Baitcasting + Mepps Aglia!

What a Fight on Light Tackle 🎣

Out on the water with the ultralight baitcasting setup and a classic Mepps Aglia spinner when this giant bluegill smashed it! The fight was incredible — these fish really pull hard on light gear.

The Mepps Aglia’s flash and vibration make it a go-to lure for big panfish and bass alike. Paired with ultralight tackle, every bite turns into pure fun and a serious rod-bending experience.

                Ultralight fishing just hits different. Makes ordinary panfish feel like trophies and brings the excitement back to every cast.

Ultralight Baitcasting with a Mepps Inline Spinner

Decided to run down the road to the local pond (Bethany Lakes) and see what was biting. Brought the KastKing Zephyr BFS Reel and Ultralight Lures and left the fly rod at home. Plan was to fish Roostertails but switched to a Mepps Inline Spinner since the Trout seemed to be interested in them – specifically, a copper bladed Mepps Inline Spinner. Trout were following the spinner but not striking which was promising given they ignored gold, silver, and black.

For fun and games, fished only the copper bladed Mepps Inline Spinner to see how many fish I could catch. Worked the banks of two of the four ponds at Bethany Lakes… “Main Pond” and “Back Pond”. Caught a number of fish – Bass and Bluegill.

Check out the video, and do guess how many I caught…?
