Largemouth Bass Testimonials

Al Slendebroek – Jehnsen Lake, Michigan

Lure: Black Fury

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bowfin

Mepps lures have produced lots of fish for me. I put on a Black Fury #3 to do some dock fishing with my son. It got slammed by a bowfin. This bowfin was 27inches long and got me a Michigan master angler award!

Thanks Mepps! Keep making these award winning lures!

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.

Philip D Anley – Leech Lake Walker Mn, Indiana

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!

Bill Friggle – Pennsylvania

Lure: Black Fury

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Carp - Crappie (Black) - Crappie (White) - Perch, Yellow - Pickerel - Sunfish (shellcracker) - Trout, Rainbow

I have been fishing Mepps lures since I was a kid. I'm 58 now. I used to only use Black Fury's in muddy water. But one time I went fishing and the water was clear. But I already had a Black Fury tied on. So I decided to fish it a while before changing it. First cast, bam. Nice largemouth. Third cast, another. And I continued catching fish. Needless to say, I never changed the lure to an Aglia that day. Since then I have been using the Black Fury's a lot more. I think it is my most productive Mepps. My favorite is Fluorescent Red. Second is pink. I don't have any white yet, but I think they would be great as well. If you aren't fishing Black Fury's, you are missing out.

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!

Derek Combs – Middle Fork River Kentucky, Kentucky

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Rock - Bass, Smallmouth - Bass, White - Bluegill (Bream, Brim)

I am a river and creek fisherman. You better have a Mepps. All other in line spinners are no comparison. I've tried them all. Mepps are top notch and when you fish the rivers here you better have a spare because the smallmouth will break 10lbs test. Mepps is the # 1 lure!

Carl – Massachusetts

Lure: Thunder Bug

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Perch, Yellow - Pickerel

This spinner is great! First time using it I had a blast with it. If you want fun get some of these.

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.

Jeff – Northern Indiana, Indiana

Lure: Aglia Streamer

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bluefish - Crappie (Black)

I have been a big Mepps fan for years. Have been throwing Black Fury's and the standard Aglia spinners for decades. This past spring I finally gave the Aglia Streamer a try. I have always been a little hesitant to purchase these because the biggest size is a size 3. But after reading the testimonials I decided to give it a try. I now know what all the fuss is about! This is an amazing lure. Never seen any other spinner that spins like this thing does. Amazing! Its great for clear water fishing for bass, crappies, and rock bass. I like the gold blade in the brown and rainbow trout. I own multiple of each in size 3. I still wish they would be offered in a larger size though. A size 4 or 5 would be great for pike and walleyes. Great lure!

Ronald – Piceral Lake, Minnesota

Chris Mckee – Farm Pond, Overbrook, Kansas

Lure: Black Fury

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth

I could not believe how many bass I caught on this lure! All big largemouth bass 10 over 2 pounds and two over three pounds. I will keep this one in my arsenal.

William Anderson – Private Pond In My Back Yard, North Carolina

Lure: Little Wolf

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth

I headed down to my pond, (about 100'x100'), today and was going to use a spinnerbait but had fished one recently without success so I tied on a Little Wolf 2/5 oz Spoon. I figured it would be as visible as a spinnerbait in the dirty water following a hard rain and not be something the bass had seen before. Second cast I catch a 2 pounder. I should note here that these fish are extremely hard to catch because I fish it so often.
They will be very shallow on sunny days in the winter because that's where the warmest water is and if the water is dirty it's also where the visibility is best so they can feed.

Charles And Jeanine Keevert – Cheney Lake Kansas, Kansas

Lure: Black Fury

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Striped - Bass, White - Walleye

We bought our first Black Fury in 1960. After that we have bought lots of Mepps exclusive.

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.

Nathan Howe – Oklahoma

Lure: Double Blade Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth

I bought this lure in the firetiger color from Dicks Sporting Goods. The very first cast and I caught a nice sized bass for the water I was fishing. I caught many more fish with this lure. This is a top notch, must have for the tackle box lure.

Kevin Hurley – Muskegon, Michigan

Lure: Little Wolf

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bass, White - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Bowfin - Catfish, Channel - Crappie (White) - Perch, Yellow - Trout, Brown

I spent 160 dollars to get the free hoodie that was offered for orders 150 dollars. First, the hoodie and hat are excellent quality. Absolutely love them. I grew up with a father that taught me Mepps are the best. I moved to an area that wasn't great for fishing without a boat and got big into catfishing on the bottom with live bait. Well, I moved back to Michigan and realized I needed to get back into lure fishing. I thought 150 dollars might be a little extreme, so I decided to catalog the fish I caught to see if the money was worth it. Here's where I'm at a month in fishing exclusively with my Mepps order:
52 large mouth bass
7 small mouth bass
27 bluegill
12 perch
4 white bass
5 channel cats (all over 8lbs and largest at 18lbs)
2 brown trout
5 bowfin
4 crappie

All that and I've only used 5 of the lures I got so far. The only lure I used and didn't land a fish was a Thunderbug that a small musky broke off. The Little Wolf spoon has been fantastic for me. Never used spoons much but tried it out and caught fish on the first 3 casts. Don't sleep on the grab bags. Wouldn't have known how great the Little Wolf is if I didn't get it in the grab bag.

All my fishing friends keep trying to push me on other lures but I think the results prove what my father always said "Mepps is the best". Looking forward to losing enough of my new lures so I can justify another 150 dollar order.

Bert Thielman – Bleachers Pond Fall River, Massachusetts

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Smallmouth - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Pickerel - Catfish, Bullhead (brown, yellow & black)

I have many Mepps lures. When the bite is tough, tie on a Mepps. I use them in cold water up here in the northeast and they don't disappoint. Mepps are great multi species lures, and you can slow roll them or burn them it doesn't matter, there will be a fish on the other end.

Luke Sears – Annapolis, Maryland

Lure: Aglia & Dressed Aglia

Fish Caught: Bass, Largemouth - Bass, Rock - Bluegill (Bream, Brim) - Catfish, Blue - Catfish, Channel - Crappie (White) - Perch, White - Pickerel - Sunfish (shellcracker)

I've been using all sorts of lures cheap ones, expensive ones, all kinds, but no other lure has worked as good as a Mepps. They can literally catch any fish. Wherever I go I take one with me because if I see a fishing pond, I know I'm guaranteed to get one with the Mepps.

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 - 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.)

I am a 45 year old woman I have been fishing since I was 3 years old. First started with my grandfather. He had always used nothing but Mepps spinners. So I followed in his foot steps. I try new lures on occasion but have found its a waste of time for me. I will only use Mepps to catch the fish!!! They are the best!!
