Match the hatch - a term we knew only from fly fishing. Until now! Because the small bugs from Mepps look faithfully like insect larvae on their way to the water surface. On the spinner blade in the form of insect wings, even the veins are depicted. Due to its shape, it tumbles seductively through the water and drives both perch in the lake and chub and trout in the river totally crazy. Even the body of the small spinner is segmented, just like a real insect. Thanks to the light weights, you can perfectly play with the rising and sinking phases and thus target the different water layers.
If you are on the hunt for our native salmonids, perch or whitefish, you should take a closer look at the bugs from Mepps. Especially in places where normal spinners have already lost their spark due to fishing pressure, you can often still lure the odd fish out with the Mepps Bugs.

Every angler is likely to stumble across this name rather sooner than later. No wonder, because the traditional lures do not only have a long history of success behind them, they are still incredibly effective and fill countless tackle boxes today. As early as 1938, French engineer Andre Meulnard invented the first spinner, which utilized a small metal blade rotating around its own axis. The lure was deadly effective, but he could not yet foresee how much this small lure would revolutionize the fishing industry. It wasn't until after World War II that American Todd Sheldon got his hands on the lure in 1951. A soldier brought the spinner from Europe back to Wisconsin in his home country, where it quickly became a huge success. Today, the small metal lures hang in fishing stores around the world in all shapes, sizes and colors, true to the original principle.
