Bob Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 They look like Mepps minnows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'll dispose of them for you Taper, if you'd like! LOL I think they'd work well on the end of cow bells / christmas trees for lakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Ya some of the mepps spinners came with minnows on them that looked like those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Them there is "Stump Snaggers"!!! Made for trollin' thru stump fields, to check the smoothness of the drag system on your reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GbayGiant Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 How big are they ? where are the weighted ? they look the swim baits/jerk baits try casting them out with little downward twitches. It's hard to say from the pics, not sure what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dondorfish Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I think that I once had a Mepps Cyclops with a minnow on it that looked like that - till a big pike took it away from me! Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookslav Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'll second the mepps minnow... I have one from days past n My box. I've never seen them sold seperate from the Spinner though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musky66 Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Either make your own or rig them up behind existing Mepps style spinners- should be deadly for Pike?Musky etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 what type of presentation I would use with them. I would say you could almost dropshot them puppys. I did see something very simular to these a guy in the states was using,his only had the front treble hang,n off it. Want to sell or trade a couple I think the minnow is to well defined to be for/from those mepps spinners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanheritage Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 dropp shot them... If you put them behind a spinner or your planning on pulling them through the water you gota do it real slow.. They will just turn without looking like a minnow. I would put a bit of weight on the front of them a pull them along bottom.. Or give to the kids to use off the dock. I remember having a blue fox set up with those minnows behind a spinner and when I checked the action I chucked the lure. Too bad they didn't have single hooks thought them instead they would be good to throw into weed poeckets.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
