Northern Pike Testimonials

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 !!!

Brenton – Carney Lake, Norway Twp., Michigan

Lure: Black Fury

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

This is an insane lure...I got skunked all day with everything else, and the 2nd cast with this at dusk -- BAM! I wanted something geared toward Northern Pike, so I gave the #4 dressed Black Fury a try. It was irresistible to him. I want to save up for a full set of Mepp's now. Never saw ANYTHING like this. Feels excellent in the water on retrieve. I ended up using it later in a river and lost it on a snag while trolling, but I am planning to stock up all winter so I am ready for spring.

Bob – Brunswick Hills, Ohio

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

The Mepps Aglia Brown Trout with Gray Squirrel Tail is a go to. We go to Lake Nippissing every year and have our own group tournament. I can bank on the Brown Trout with a Squirrel Tail to catch fish especially casting into the sun and a slow steady retrieve through the tops of weeds in the early evening.

John Villegas – Marcell, Minnesota

Lure: Comet Combo

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

Excellent lure when fishing near or in lilipads. The combination is as advertised and virtually weedless.

Jess Bridel – Kipawa Lake, Laniel, Quebec , Canada

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

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

New to fishing, my husband gave me a bunch of his lures to start off my tackle. One was a Mepps Aglia #3, rainbow trout with pink beads. He’d had it for over a decade and never used it (too pink). It quickly became my go-to. Out catching hubs. Shortly after catching 7 fish (bass, pickerel, pike) I caught a trophy sized bass!!! Sadly a huge pike, decided he liked it so much, he just had to have it.... I am desperately searching for a replacement- but believe it’s discontinued. I have friends all over Canada searching their local tackle shops for it.
That Mepps is amazing. Even my husband, who used to be allergic to pink lures, is sold on it and wants one too...

Bruce Purpura – Downeast Maine Lakes And Ponds, Maine

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Perch, White - Perch, Yellow - Pickerel - Pike, Northern - Trout, Lake - Walleye - Salmon, Quananiche (landlocked)

I discovered the Mepps dual blade aglia spinner last year and have not put it down since. This lure catches just about everything that my ponds and lakes have to offer. I had never caught salmon, pike, walleye, or trout until I started using this lure. The bass LOVE it. I troll alot and using this lure on 1 rod and a different lure on the other rod, I will catch 90% on the dual blade. Can't say enough about it. Thank you for producing quality products.

Jon – Minneapolis, Minnesota

Lure: Giant Killer Mino

Fish Caught: Pike, Northern

Nothing in my tackle box has had more bites. That poor, rubber minnow has suffered such abuse at the teeth of many a pike. I won't go fishing without this.

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Crappie (Black) - Perch, Yellow - Pike, Northern - Trout, Dolly Varden - Trout, Lake - Trout, Rainbow

Silver Mepps No. 4 are the best, most consistent lure I’ve ever used. Over my lifetime the biggest, and the most fish I’ve ever caught were all on Mepps.

I landed some massive Northerns on this lure. #5, Black Body/Orange Fin, Single hook with a black 4" Mister Twister grub. I caught 13 pike that day and none of them under 24", got the pictures to prove it! 😁😁👍👍👍 And that doesn't include the 11 my brother caught.

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bass, White - Bowfin - Catfish, Blue - Crappie (Black) - Pike, Northern - Walleye - Catfish, Flathead

As a kid I grew up using Mepps, in WI and MN. The 21 years I was in the Army, I didn't fish at all. After retirement my wife told me, I needed a hobby, so I took up fishing again, after nearly 25 years. And went and bought a bunch of Mepps and other lures. I can't lie, I am a spinner loving fisherman. Over the last 3 years I have used Mepps almost exclusively. And mainly the Aglia dressed #5 and #3. I have caught tons of fish with them, from Large Mouth Bass, Northern Pike, Small Mouth, Walleye, Bowfin, Crappie, Catfish, and White Bass. I have been to Mepps in Antigo three times with friends to take the tour and get resupplied on my selection. Each time Bev and the crew have been awesome, and a big thanks to them.
Last year Mepps came out with the Aglia Bait series, and I ordered several different ones, but the Frog was my new go to spinner. I caught probably 6 northern over 32" and tons of bass, small and large mouth, I caught walleye, white bass and more. There are two really memorable days this last season that I would like to share. 1st, Troy and I went out in the morning on Lake Poygan and he was using the Dirty Shad and I was using the Frog, both from the Aglia Bait Series. Up until late afternoon I caught all Large Mouth and Troy caught all Northern Pike. Later that day things change up and we caught 8 White Bass in about 15 minutes and then I started to catch northern on my Frog and Troy, bass on his Dirty Shad. We caught 30 fish that day, it was crazy...... 2nd, My brother in law came up to visit and he has been fishing his whole life so its always a competition. The last day Troy, Jim and myself went out for a day of fishing. Jim "my brother in law" threw everything in his tackle box to include some crazy looking blue gill lure. Troy and I only used Mepps Bait Series. Troy and I caught a total of 20 fish, 10 apiece and Jim caught 4. A great way to end a week of fishing.......
On December 30, 2019 Troy and I went up to Mepps for a tour and to have some lures custom made. The tour was great and Troy and I put in our order. Troy got his lures the next day, WOW. I got mine on the 1st, WOW. The whole team up in Antigo was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot Mepps, you build the best lures and have the best customer service!!!!!!!! Troy and I are going to do some bass tourneys this year with only Mepps just for fun...... Have a great year!!!!!
