Mepps Lures?

[N.Y. Yankee]

Do you use Mepps Spinners for Bass? What is your favorite one?

#3 silver or gold,  no trailer

Never used Mepps specifically for bass.  I use 3 types of spinners depending on the species.

 

Mepps for Northern Pike, size 4 with either the long silver blade or the oblong blade with red and white sticker on it.  You will probably get many good suggestions from Mepps users on options for bass, I just haven't used them much for bass.

Rooster Tail  for bass in streams - watermelon color body/gold blade with pink and green tail.  For trout - black or white body with silver blade.

Panther Martin - my favorite - will catch just about anything, but primarily used for trout in streams - yellow body with red dots and a silver blade, or the black body with yellow dots and gold blade.  If you are having a tough day and just want to catch something and there are fish in the water to be caught, get your ultralight rig out and throw a small yellow body/ red dots, silver blade panther martin.  I have caught trout, pike, bass and every kind of pan fish with this.

No, but I love a roostertail.  1/8 oz., white.  On a ML/F rspinnimg setup.  Catch any species in the pond, all day long

What he said! I like the 1/4 oz one with a dressed treble, #3 blade I think it is.  Whatever spinner color you prefer.  I've used the silver mostly and done well.  In small streams and ponds they are tough to beat!

Another vote for the Mepps Black Fury, especially the chartreuse version, but their Musky Killer will also land some seriously nice bass at certain times of the year, or on certain waters.

Haven't used it much for LMB in the south, but a mepps #5 aglia dressed up in canoe country is killer for SMB, as well as pike and walleye.

Mepps has caught my biggest of the year so far use them often but lean towards the smaller side #1-#2-#3 white dressed aglia and black fury.

 

This caught with #1 black fury dressed

I'm a Panther Martin fan, you can get a really compact lure with a heavier weight than any of the others. The paint jobs suck though, they all might as well be lead weights after awhile. Rooster Tail in 1/6oz is another good one. Not quite as heavy as the 1/4 Panther Martin's I like but a nice alternative when you want to fish slower and/or stay higher in the water. I also like the Blue Fox Vibrax in solid gold size 2 (3/16oz), I seriously had a day where nearly every fish caught was on this lure. It was so ridiculous I cut it off and tied it onto my wife's rod and she smoked me the rest of the day, nothing else was working. I've tried a dressed Mepp's Black fury a lot because I really like the look of it, only ever caught ONE crappie on it.
