I don't hear a lot of talk here on BR or in general about Mepps or other inline spinners for bass. They offer a different profile than other bass spinnerbaits, and can be great spinners to use at certain times. If I had to choose one, I'd pick the Mepps Black Fury, size 3 or 4, in chartreuse or yellow dot pattern. I can cast either one of this size with a bait casting outfit. Smaller ones work well with spinning gear. A great scenario for these spinners is where shallow water meets deeper water, with weeds that grow to within one or two ft of the surface. Make a long cast and bring the Mepps over this area, keeping it as close to the weed tops as you can. Keep a tight grip on your rod. Are there any others here who still throw a Mepps? What are your favourite sizes and colors?
