12 Volt Man Posted September 16, 2023 Report Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) So, I was fishing with my musky rod for hours today after driving 2 hours to a river in the Kawarthas to try to catch my first muskie (from shore, I don't own a boat). I took a break from using it, picked up my bass rod (7'6 MH) cast a #5 Mepps Black Fury and caught my first one lol Go Figure lolol The Mepps Black Fury lures are sooooo goood! Took a few pics as fast as I could with help from some nice people walking through the park and back it went. took off like a rocket Edited September 16, 2023 by Duckie 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Willis Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 Good going,very nice. I've been using mepps spinners for over sixty years and still do to this day regardless of what I'm fishing for. There's a reason for it. They work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it worked for you in what way? I have been using them since the late 80s and they seem the same as they always have been? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) The 00, 0, and 1 sizes are far inferior from 20-30 years ago.. I still use the bigger sizes with no complaints but their small micro spinners ain't worth a crap. Overall performance , durability etc. Like everything in this world nowadays the price goes up but the quality goes down.

Weeds Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Congrats on THE MUSKY!!! First fish is definitely an all caps experience! I’m assuming KraTTor is referring to this being a man’s personal triumph thread rather a quality of Mepps Spinners thread. But I have a history of missing the point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
