Northern Pike Testimonials

Patrick Swinger – Lake Namakagon, Wisconsin

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Musky - Pike, Northern

My fishing buddy and I have fished Lake Namakagon in northern Wisconsin for the last three years. We started using the Aglia pink platinum/pink #5 spinner the first year we were there. My buddy caught a 35 inch musky using it, and this past year he caught a 45 incher. We have caught numerous northern pike and smallmouth bass on this lure. We have great confidence with this lure. It works better than any other lure we have used. No lie.

Jack V Grassetti – Lake Champlain, Vermont

Lure: Little Wolf

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

Made the Pilgrimage up to Lake Champlain - an annual tradition of our Family. 55 Years ago when I was 12 was my first year. We used only red and white daredevil knock offs exclusively with good success on Northern Pike (our target fish). We moved onto Mepps size 3,4,and 5 bladed spinners after one of my 8 brothers brought a friend up with him about 50 years ago. I bought a Mepps Piker Kit a couple of years ago and got my first Little Wolf - tried it this year and BANG it was hot. Silver (big one - not really sure of the actual size). Out with my nephews - they started catching Pike on silver spinners. I tried that Little Wolf with very stout hooks and caught 5 nice sized Pike in half an hour (5 lbs plus). So fun. Lost it in a snag the next day - Bummer. Will get another one.

Philip D Anley – Leech Lake Walker Mn, Indiana

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Musky - Pike, Northern

I fish Leech Lake in Walker Minnesota every year and can't keep the pike off of them best bait I have ever used. I have even caught Bass on them and a smaller Musky. I look forward to my trip this year. I need to stock up on my Mepps and pike!

Paul Evon – Michigan, Michigan

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bass, White - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Crappie (Black) - Perch, Yellow - Pike, Northern - Sunfish (shellcracker) - Catfish, Bullhead (brown, yellow & black)

I have 35 Mepps spinners in my arsenal. Most of them are the Aglia and mostly red and white. I have every size they manufacture (0-5). I have had more luck with these Mepps spinners than any other lure that I have ever used in my over 45 years of fishing. I will be fishing in channels (cuts) with other fisherman around and I am the only one reeling in the fish. They all ask me what's my secret and I just tell them #3 Mepps and they start reeling in the fish. Mepps is a secret weapon in my arsenal. My motto is: if the fish ain't biting on Mepps spinners, then they ain't going to bite here all day. The main sizes I use are #1, #2, and #3. I will use #4 and #5 in the bigger open waters. You can also use #0 and #1 as flies. The Agila's are so versatile you can determine how deep or shallow you want to fish with these lures. Its winter now in Michigan so I am assessing my lure inventory for the coming fishing season. See you all on the fishing waters in 2025!

Alden Stobb – Milwaukee River, Wisconsin

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Smallmouth - Musky - Pike, Northern

I have been fishing with Mepps Aglia Spinners as long as I have fished on the Milwaukee River and caught everything from bass to muskie. I have nothing but great things to say about all Mepps products.

Curtis Andrews – Silver Lake, Warrenville, Illinois

Lure: Flying C

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

Shore fishing on the opening day of trout season and all the boat activity had driven the fish deep. I was using a bait caster so decided to throw a Hot Orange Flying C with a treble hook to see if I could get out a bit further and deeper. No luck with the trout but landed a beauty of a Northern Pike that hit on my first cast about 35 yards out and fought the whole way in.

Jackson Tucker Bush – Napa River, Yountville, California

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

Labor Day 2024 Napa River Caught 5 Sacramento Pikes after 3 casts on the Aglia #2 gold blade plain treble. It hooked one in the back, double hooked one in the mouth! These lures are sharp, bright and beautiful!

John Tedrick – Bee Lake Ontario, Ontario , Canada

Lure: Bucktail Jig

Fish Caught: Bass, Smallmouth - Pike, Northern - Walleye

On this Northwest Ontario Lake practically all of the fish caught for two days was on this ¼ oz brown over orange jig. A 38" pike, a personal best 30" walleye and two trophy smallies. Plus countless walleyes and smallmouths. At the end of two days a pike ruined what remained of this hair jig and I mourned that I didn't have an extra jig. This is a true multi-species lure. I'm returning next year and you know what I'm going back with.

David Soens – Bear Lake, Hazelhurst, Wisconsin

Lure: Aglia Tandem

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Crappie (White) - Perch, Yellow - Pike, Northern

Banner fishing day catching four species of fish on the same lure, that's right, the Mepps Aglia 5 in one day. Northern were very active and commonly crush the bait. Then oddly enough a perch took it later in the day. Crappie then decided to get in the act. Yet the largemouth bass was the prize of the day. Slow and steady with the retrieve, just make sure you can feel the pulse of the blade turning; and you are golden. Fish on.

Nick Kaiser – Lake Of The Woods, Ontario., Ontario , Canada

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

I’ve used your double-blades Aglias for years. They are by FAR my favorite lure for Northern Pike. I just finished a week of fishing on Lake of The Woods and the Northern just could not lay off of them. I had three brand new #5s before the trip and all three of them are bent, missing 1/2 the “hair” and most of the paint! Keep up the great work!!

Christian Giannantonio – Salisbury, Vermont

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Pike, Northern

Went fishing while spending a week at a friends lake house. Got countless Northern Pike, with the biggest at 4.80 Lbs. And got a new personal best Largemouth Bass at 3.54 Lbs. The size 3 spinner is my favorite.

Sam – Oneida County, Wisconsin

Lure: Giant Killer Mino

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

We caught 25 fish in two days. 23 on the Mepps two on live bait!
Awesome lure

Chris Beran – Lake Content, Wisconsin

Lure: Aglia Flashabou

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

We used this lure over the 4th of July week with great results. It out fished other lures 3 to 1 or so. We caught well over 100 Pike on the trip. We used other colors that were close to the same but nothing worked as well. The added flash on the skirt I think is a game changer.

Gabriele – South Copenhagen Denmark

Lure: Aglia Bait Series

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

I bought Mepps Aglia XL (Size 7) Tiger and red/white version of it in the internet. I constantly catch pikes on the size between 80 cm and 100 cm and have lost bigger ones. Really a nice product and the pike aggressively attack this lure in a magnificent series of attacks. Unfortunate that this series is not on the website anymore plus available in the "Comet" version (silver+red spots) as it is a really effective lure.
With Mepps silver with red dots (Comet) #5 I catch regularly pikes of all sizes and there is no one day that I do not catch, even for a short passing by of 1 hour.

Thomas McKinney – Ceylon Lagoon, Wisconsin

Lure: Basser & Panfisher Kit - Dressed Lure Assortment

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

Casted for over an hour and half with nothing, first cast with a Mepps Black Fury #5 and land a Pike. In Mepps we trust.

Kevin – Lake, Wisconsin

Lure: Bronze Slammer

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

30 degrees out and caught a pike, it works from what I can tell. Will update when weather is decent, and fish are more active.

Thomas McKinney – Ceylon Lagoon, Wisconsin

Lure: Aglia Flashabou

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

First time testing out this lure in the spot known for having "no fish" I catch 4 Northerns in about 2 hours, best being around 4 pounds. Great lure, sometimes have issues with weeds but that's totally expected being a treble hook in a heavily weeded area. Can be avoided if you reel it right. Really solid lure will recommend.

Ken Wagner – Turtle Flambeau Flowage, Wisconsin

Lure: Bronze Slammer

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Pike, Northern

These lure is hot

Paul Evon – Bad River, St. Charles Michigan, Michigan

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Crappie (White) - Perch, Yellow - Pike, Northern - Catfish, Bullhead (brown, yellow & black)

I have had nothing but the best of luck with the Mepps plain Aglia spinners (# 1, 2, 3)
I like spinners because I have more control of their depth and they do not sink very far down.I have caught bullhead and panfish, all types of bass and the mighty Northern Pike. My guess is that spinners mimmick insects so that would attract just about any species of fish. I have the best luck with the red and white blades. I have over $200 of lures in my tackle box but I only use Mepps spinners 95% of the time. I am a Mepps fan for life.....

Steve Eckstein – Lake Erie Tribs, Ohio

Lure: Bronze Slammer

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Catfish, Channel - Pike, Northern

I have used Mepps products for years. All of them catch fish. But these bronze slammers... Wow. The size difference is very clear. Make more of these!

Paul S Evon – Saginaw, MI, Michigan

Lure: USA Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Smallmouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Crappie (Black) - Pike, Northern - Sunfish (shellcracker) - Catfish, Bullhead (brown, yellow & black)

I have been using the plain Aglia gold/red/white #1 spinner and it has produced fantastic results. I have never had so much luck in my fishing career.The amount of fish I have caught with it has paid for itself. I was using #1 Aglia to catch the smaller fish but I have been hooking on to 20 plus inch Northern Pike and smallmouth bass. I plan on getting the same lure in #2 and #3 sizes. I plan on using nothing but Mepps spinners from now on!

Joseph Sterkowicz – Illinois

Lure: Bronze Slammer

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Musky - Pike, Northern

Can't tell you the lake or color. This lure rocks. Gonna fish up North in the land of Cheese.I have a feeling Wally will join the party.

Tim Fox – Yellowstone Nat’l Park And All Over MN & WI, Wisconsin

Lure: Trout Pocket Pac - #0 Aglia Wooly Worm

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Crappie (Black) - Crappie (White) - Perch, Yellow - Pike, Northern - Trout, Brook - Trout, Brown - Trout, Cutthroat - Trout, Rainbow - Walleye

This trio is extremely effective for a diverse range of fresh water fish. I’ve recently caught multi species of trout in Yellowstone NP with these in size 0 and 1. Black Fury also effective. Prefer single hook for a variety of reasons. A great Go To lure of mine for many decades…especially for shore, wader, canoe/kayak fishing rivers, streams, creeks, ponds, and small lakes. One lure I know I can always toss with confidence! (Use thin, lite, line…4-6’ish.)

Peter Liardi – Brockville,Ontario,Saint Lawrence River, Ontario , Canada

Lure: Aglia Tandem

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Perch, Yellow - Pike, Northern - Bass, Peacock

I've used this lure all of my life and it's the best lure of its kind! I've caught Northern Pike,Bass both large and small mouth. I highly recommend that you purchase of, if you want hits and catches! I'm 67 years old now and suffer from diabetic neuropathy which makes it hard for me to walk or even get a good grip on my pole, so like the song says " Don't get around much any more " I wish you all the luck in the world. Helps lures rule! Bye for now sincerely Peter C. Liardi. 😀 peace ✌&💘4Eva

Jordan Kay – Wisconsin, Illinois

Lure: Minos

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Catfish, Blue - Musky - Perch, Yellow - Pike, Northern - Walleye

The Perch Mino and Rainbow Blade combo is crazy. I have had multiple musky over 40" hit it. Make sure you are using the correct gear.

Brian Willms 414 Outdoors – Up North, Wisconsin

Lure: Musky Killer Bait Series

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Musky - Pike, Northern - Walleye

In my opinion the Mepps Musky Killer is the most versatile multispecies fishing lure you can pitch. It is a perfect size allowing you to catch a multitude of different species.

While casting the Mepps Musky Killer Bait Series in Walleye color I was able to catch a Musky 40”, Pike 34” Smallmouth Bass 21” & Walleye 24.5” all on the same lake, in the same day on the same bait within 4 hrs of getting on to the water @ sunrise.

Do yourself a favor and try some of the new Mepps Musky Killer Bait Series color schemes. You won’t regret it!

Richard – Lake Erie, Rockwood, Michigan

Lure: Double Blade Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bass, White - Catfish, Channel - Pike, Northern

I'm just honestly thankful these products exist. Just had one of my best days ever trying out new Double Bladed Mepps spoon/spinner, absolutely killed the largemouth. Caught some pike, small mouth and a totally unintentional channel catfish. Just turned my buddy onto these too, he wasn't having any bites and after I reeled 3 in he walked over and went through my bag for one and started landing them. Made for some awesome photos and an awesome day. Can't say enough good things about Mepps products without sounding like I'm getting paid to write this. When the fishing gets tough, I'll always carry a Mepps spoon/spinner and slap it on and can almost guarantee something. Mepps Aglia 5 treble hook single/double blades will get just about anythings attention and get you on some fish. Great lures.

Bill Danfield – Wisconsin River, Rhinelander, Wisconsin

Lure: Black Fury

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Musky - Pike, Northern - Walleye

This is my "go to" bait under most conditions --- I've caught a few legal muskies using the # 5 BLACK FURY despite it's size and recommend it for kids to use on spinning tackle for lots of action -pretty much guaranteed !

They slam it and hook ups are pretty much 100%

I always have a couple in the boat and if fishing is slow I can be pretty sure I'll at least have action using the Mepps # 5 Black Fury.

My best experience was going out with my son and putting on a new Black Fury -and catching a legal musky -1st cast !!!
