XD Plain Treble

Description

The Mepps XD, in a just a few short years, has become the standard for comparison for fishermen who prefer spinners that run extra deep. Part of its success is due to Mepps quality, but fishermen are also finding out the XD catches a lot more fish.

Mepps' unique body construction includes a fluorescent bead which gives the fisherman a major advantage. Fish not only see the spinner from the front, but from the side and rear as well. Mepps Color Technology has proven lure colors do not look the same in the water as they do out of the water. What you see in your hand is not what the fish sees.

Whether you choose to fish with treble or single hook, plain or dressed XD's is a personal preference. Be sure to select single hook XD's if single hooks are required by law in the water you are fishing. Always keep in mind, lure size is important. The rule of thumb is use smaller lures to catch smaller fish and larger lures to catch larger fish.

I like using the number 0 XD when I need a bit of extra weight and need a spinner to run a little deeper than the Ultra Lite Series. A great bait in small streams and from shore for just about any kind of trout, but bass and panfish also love these little spinners. Silver/Black and Gold/Black are my two favorite colors. Something I love about these is how slow you can fish them and the blade keeps moving. If your a serious trout fisherman do yourself a favor and get some of these.

This is the best trout fishing lure Mepps has ever made!! It spins so easily in the water you can fish it extremely slow. The most versatile size for trout is definitely the #1 size. Its not too big for smaller fish but not too small for the bigger ones. I like the all silver XD in sunny weather and the black body with the gold blade when its cloudy. I like to jig this bait right in the middle of the cover for inactive trout. It is amazing to watch the blade when you jig this bait it spins on the fall and then spins when you pick up the bait. This drives inactive trout absolutely nuts. I have never seen inactive trout go crazy over anything like that retrieve they will strike your bait multiple times if they don't hook up right away. This bait is better than a Panther Martin because the hook is so much more durable, trust me I planted one in my face on accident. The bait also has a much better quality body than Panther Martins, the paint doesn't chip off and its brass so you don't end up like you do with a beaten up Panther Martin with a big old hunk of gray lead for a body when the paint comes off. Talk about unnatural. Thanks to the bead attractor you miss alot less fish than Panther Martin's, the fish really seem to zero in on that bead for some reason or another. I can honestly say this is my all time favorite Mepps bait.

XD #3

The Mepps XD produces a rapid "thump" at the beginning of the retrieve, but, that "thump" slows down to a steady beat as the XD's fulcrum bead evens out the rotation of the blade. This style spinner can be unusually loud depending on the speed of the retrieve, but, they run deep making the XD a favorite of trout anglers who fish fast, deep streams. Because the XD is a shaft-through-the-blade spinner, it's difficult to compare the sound of its blade with traditional Mepps in-line spinners. In-line spinners use a clevis to attach the blade to the spinner shaft, so a comparison would be apples-to-oranges.
