Spoon lure Mepps
AI analysis
High confidence
7/10
Reliable spinner with consistent mid-range rating of 3.8/5, performing decently for pike and perch in September, but without standout advantage — typical effectiveness without guarantees.
Database expanded to 111 solo reports (average 3.8/5) and 17 combo reports (average 3.8/5), effectivenessScore remains 7/10 with high confidence. New 15 September reports (13 solo, 2 combo) confirm consistency: 4 ratings of 5/5 (notably #1, #9, #10), but 5 ratings of 2/5 and 5 ratings of 3/5 show lack of universality. Report #14 (combo with Aglia 1 silver as competing hook) and #15 (combo with soft plastic) complicate clean attribution, but most new data are clean solo entries, strengthening confidence in the established level.
Best conditions
September with moderate temperature (14–25°C), cloud cover, drizzle or rain, wind 7–20 km/h — optimal conditions (5/5 in reports #1, #9, #10 with rain and wind 7–24 km/h). Calm days (wind <6 km/h) and clear skies show mixed results (2–5/5 scattered).
Best target fish
Pike dominates (most reports 2–5/5, often aggressive in rainy periods), perch close behind (active especially in rain and drizzle, also 2–5/5). Mixed species in report #14 shows fragmented effectiveness for both.
- Aglia 3 and Aglia 2 silver 4.5g showed strong results in new reports (#1 5/5, #2 3/5, #13 3/5) — solid choice for September.
- Rainy and windy period (drizzle, rain 1.5–5 mm, wind 7–24 km/h) proved most effective — 5/5 in reports #9 and #10 under these conditions, perch especially aggressive.
- Steady retrieve (#1) and boat fishing (#10) achieved 5/5 — worth experimenting with techniques and locations.
- Calm days (wind <6 km/h, clear skies) often yield 2/5 — timing and location selection are critical.

Two combo reports (#14, #15) out of 15 new create minor ambiguity, but most data are clean solo. Many minimal reports (single-line notes, 'okay', '👍') limit context on technique and condition details. Data confined entirely to September; spring, summer (except early), fall and winter barely covered. No systematic comparison of Mepps against other spinner brands under identical conditions.
