DeepRunner™ page 3 www.mepps.com Aglia® 4-5 70 years of fish-catching history NEW for 2009 is the DeepRunner™. The Aglia® and Little Wolf™ feature two NEW colors, and there are 13 NEW Kits. for everything from panfish to pike. DeepRunner™ Mepps DeepRunner (page 3) is a willow leaf spinner designed for fishermen who need a lure that drops deep quickly and stays deep throughout the retrieve. All Mepps DeepRunner’s feature a heavy over-sized, torpedo-shaped, solid brass body that allows the angler to cover more water through additional casting distance. The narrow willow leaf blade, torpedo-shaped body combination makes the DeepRunner ideal for fishing deep lakes or the fast-moving rivers. Genuine silver plating with a meticulously-applied, tarnish-resistant, epoxy clear-coat finish. Every DeepRunner blade features a holographic eye and oven-baked vinyl or acrylic accent color to create distinct areas of contrast that attract fish as the blade spins. (more on page 3) The cover photograph on this, the 2009 Mepps Fishing Guide is gorgeous. It makes me daydream about being a part of the photograph myself. The photo was taken by Jim Martinsen who has worked here at Mepps for 23 years. The fisherman in the scene is Mike Keen, who has also worked at Mepps for some years. Jim works on projects somewhat removed from fishing including catalog development, web site enhancement and product photography. Although Jim's work is somewhat detached from fishing, he’s still an avid fisherman. Mike does a lot of work on product development and production processes. Mike, too, is a die-hard fisherman. Mike and Jim must get out and fish, both locally and remotely, so they can understand the language, thoughts and needs of all fishermen. At Mepps, we are all fishermen and we do our best to fish a wide variety of regions and species. Due to our obsession with fishing, we sometimes make small changes to products based on our fishing experiences, field testing and other fishermen's recommendations. For example, the Mepps Aglia on the cover is a new color. The Aglia has been catching fish for 70 years so it hardly needs a design change, but, a new color that creates good visibility through contrast will result in more productive fishing. On the other hand, we designed the willow leaf DeepRunner, the other lure on the cover, to do something different than the Aglia. It was specifically designed to run deeper and cast farther. In fact, the #1 DeepRunner is about 90% heavier than a #1 Mepps Aglia Long, Mepps other willow leaf spinner. The #2 DeepRunner is approximately 100% heavier than a #2 Aglia Long. This extra weight has definitely allowed me to reach spots I couldn’t with a lighter lure, and it gets my spinner into a fish catching zone quicker than a lighter similar lure. At Mepps, we spend a lot of time doing our own research, testing, development, manufacturing, and quality control. . . all to help you catch more fish.

Available in two sizes, 5/16 oz. and 1/2 oz., all Mepps DeepRunners feature a heavy over-sized, torpedo-shaped, solid brass body that allows the angler to cover more water through additional casting distance. The narrow willow leaf blade, torpedo-shaped body combination makes the DeepRunner ideal for fishing deep lakes or fast-moving rivers. In addition, the DeepRunner, like all Mepps spinners, features a strong and durable, imperfection-free, Swedish Sandvic stainless steel shaft. Sandvic stainless steel is of the highest quality and will not break, rust or corrode even after repeatedly landing fish. The DeepRunner's precisely machined, solid brass components are perfectly balanced to maintain maximum stability at all retrieval speeds. Genuine silver plating with a meticulouslyapplied, tarnish-resistant, epoxy clear-coat finish means every DeepRunner produces one bright flash after another. The flash produced by nickel or chrome is not nearly as bright as genuine silver. A water-activated, self-lubricating folded solid brass clevis allows the blade to begin spinning freely as soon as the lure hits the water. The folded clevis not only out-performs a stirrup clevis, it is much stronger and far more durable. Every DeepRunner blade features a holographic eye and oven-baked vinyl or acrylic accent color to create distinct areas of contrast that attract fish as the blade spins. Extra-strong, razor-sharp, perfectly-honed premium quality hooks achieve the highest hooking percentage possible. Using a bigger and stronger hook also significantly increases the anglers ability to keep a big fish on all the way to the boat. Dressed DeepRunners feature a genuine Mepps hand-tied, premiumgrade bucktail dressed treble hook secured by the strongest of waterproof epoxies for outstanding durability even after repeated use. A Flashabou accent provides just enough sparkle to entice the weariest of fish to strike. Mepps® DeepRunner™ Stock No. Size Approx. Wt.

We use the finest and softest marabou feathers available for the maximum amount of pulsating action in the water. Like all other dressed Aglias, the Aglia Marabou also features a red turkey quill strike attractor – a Mepps trademark. If you like the Aglia, try it with a top quality, brightly-colored marabou tail. Nothing beats marabou for visibility and action in the water. Available in six standard sizes, #0, #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 and twelve proven colors. Spinners have always caught smallmouth. Dressed spinners are preferred by most knowledgable smallmouth anglers, like Ray Armitage (above), because the dressed hook provides a larger profile, attracting larger fish. The Mepps Aglia Marabou is no exception. In fact, the Aglia Marabou is excellent for smallmouth because nothing beats brightly colored marabou for visibility and action in the water.

The special Black Fury blade spins closer to the body than the classic Aglia® blade so it easily fishes shallow to middepths. The Black Fury is an excellent low light (early morning, evening or overcast) spinner as well as a perfect choice for sunny days when contrast with the brightness of the water, weeds and structure is needed. The Black Fury is deadly for trophy bass, walleye, panfish and trout. Big northern pike, musky and largemouth bass are quick to attack a #5 Black Fury. Dressed version features either natural bucktail or squirrel tail. The Black Fury Combos feature a Mister Twister® Keeper® Hook and come with genuine Mister Twister® Curly Tails®.

Available only in sizes #4 and #5, these Mepps are designed for anadromous fish from their perfectly formed eye down to their computer age extra-sharp, strong hook. Available with either treble or single hooks. Blades and bodies are solid brass. Environmentally safe. No lead components. Spinner shaft is stainless steel to resist the elements. Silver blades feature genuine silver plating for maximum flash at all depths and under all water and light conditions. Painted bodies feature brilliant epoxy finishes that are both fade and chip resistant. A water-activated selflubricating, folded solid brass clevis allows the blade to begin spinning freely as soon as the lure hits the water. The folded clevis not only out-performs a stirrup clevis, it is much stronger and far more durable. If you’re planning a fishing trip to Alaska, these spinners were designed with you in mind. Available only in these color combinations S-S silver body silver blade B-S blue platium body silver blade CH-S fluorescent chartreuse body silver blade GR-S green platium body silver blade PK-S fluorescent pink body silver blade O-S fluorescent orange body silver blade Trophy Series are also available with plain single hooks Barry Stockhaus, Mepps and Mister Twister Regional Sales Manager, shows off a beautiful Alaskan Kanektok River Arctic Char he caught on a #4 Mepps Trophy Series spinner.

A lot of engineering went into the design of the Mepps LongCast. To begin with, every LongCast is perfectly balanced. This allows the blade to spin freely and easily, an attribute found in every Mepps spinner. Perfect balance doesn't just happen. Every component on the LongCast, from the wire to the hook, has been carefully selected and tested with the other components to assure proper balance. The LongCast's heavy bullet-shaped body takes the effort out of long-distance casting. In addition, the LongCast sinks quickly and stays very close to the bottom throughout the retrieve, making it perfect for fishing heavy current or deep water. Weighing in at 5/8 oz., the #4 LongCast is a full 85% heavier than a #4 Mepps Aglia, and it is 65% heavier than the competition. The #5 LongCast weighs 7/8 oz. It is 75% heavier than a #5 Mepps Aglia, and weighs twice as much as the competition's #5 spinner. In fact, the heavy-weight #5 LongCast is 40% heavier than the competition's #6 spinner. Give the Mepps LongCast a try. You will quickly discover you are casting farther and fishing deeper than you ever have before. In fact, you'll be able to fish water you've never fished before.

It's a rugged, solid brass spoon that will not rust or tarnish like many other ordinary spoons. Its genuine silver-plating produces one bright white flash after another as it is pulled through the water, and its reverse-curve design features ten distinct highly-reflective surfaces that disperse light equally in all directions. All Little Wolf's feature a perfect blend of vinyl and acrylic ovenbaked finishes with a contrasting logo for maximum visibility and durability. Mepps proprietary finishes are far more chip-resistant than similar finishes on similar products. As if this wasn't enough, all Mepps Little Wolves have a razorsharp, perfectly honed hook with highvisibility strike-attractor tube. Together, these entice more fish to strike while yielding a higher hooking percentage. Every Little Wolf ™ is perfectly balanced to maintain the same intense side-to-side wobbling action at all retrieval speeds. It doesn't stall when you stop your retrieve. Instead, it maintains its action as it falls. Three years of development and testing means every Mepps® Little Wolf ™ performs perfectly right out of the package.

A wide Colorado blade brings this spinner closer to the surface during the retrieve. It is ideal for fishing over weeds or those times when the lure should just break the surface as its blade spins. All Mepps Marabous, have the “magic” action of a top quality, brightly colored marabou tail for high visibility and lifelike movement in the water, making it perfect for both trophy northern pike and musky. Because it can be fished near the surface, it will fish water missed by many other lures. The real advantage to the Mepps Marabou, however, is in the action and pulsation of its marabou tail. Marabou feathers are so fine and soft, every revolution of the blade makes them come alive. Mepps® Marabou Stock Number Style MM5 dressed Approx. Weight 3/4 oz.

Giant Killer® Sassy Shad® A Nice Mepps Musky Tale This is the story of Bill Spinnler and his son Alex. It seems they had spent two days trying to catch a musky, but, the fish of 10,000 casts had eluded them. Then, Bill remembered, when he was a kid about Alex's age, he read that Mepps always did extensive research on the fish attracting features of their lures. So, he figured, Mepps knows what triggers fish to bite. He tied on a Mepps Giant Killer Sassy Shad. “I figured I couldn't go wrong,” he wrote. Bill had never caught a musky. Ten minutes later he boated a 42” trophy. The fish was almost as big as Alex. If they hadn't tied on that Giant Killer Sassy Shad, aside from a few follows, Bill and Alex would have had nothing to show for the day. 1-800-237-9877 www.mepps.com Stock Number GKSS Shad Size 6” Approx.

Why does Mepps only buy and use squirrel tails? Why not other tails? The fact is squirrel tails are all hair. . . no fur. Practically all other animals have fur tails with just a few guard hairs. Fur doesn’t work on our spinners as - in the water - it doesn’t have the rippling, pulsating movement of squirrel hair. Squirrels are also plentiful. According to government figures more than 30 million squirrels are harvested by hunters each year. Because squirrels are prolific, raising two to four, sometimes more young a year, hunting hardly reduces their numbers. Squirrel is also some of the best wild meat and hunting them in their natural habitat is a challenge for the small game hunter. Squirrel skins are used for caps, fur coats, glove linings and many other items. However, the tail is usually thrown away. This is a waste of a resource. If you hunt squirrels, we’re asking you not to waste this resource. For all usable grey, fox & black squirrel tails we pay the following. . . Count under 100 over 100 over 500 over 1000 Average Tails 16¢ each 19¢ each 21¢ each 22¢ each Premium Tails 20¢ each 23¢ each 25¢ each 26¢ each Care & Handling of Squirrel Tails (Please follow carefully) 1) Tails are best on squirrels taken after October 1. 2) Do NOT remove the bone from the tail; deboned & split tails have no value. 3) Salt the butt end of the tail generously. Use either dry salt or dip in a strong saltwater solution. 4) Be sure the tail is straight before drying. Tails that dry curled are useless. 5) Keep tails away from flies. Best storage is in a freezer. Do NOT send tails that have been exposed to flies. 6) Do NOT put tails in a plastic bag for storage or shipment. They could heat-up and spoil. 7) The best time to ship is during the cold months (December, January, February, March), although dried squirrel tails may be shipped anytime. Please deliver to current resident Double the cash value of your tails by exchanging them for Mepps spinners from this catalog. Please give us the stock numbers of the items you want when you send us the tails. Sorry, no other discounts or special offers apply. 8) Put your name, mailing address and phone number or e-mail address, along with the tail count inside EACH package. Send tails to: Sheldons’, Inc., 626 Center St., Antigo, WI 54409-2496 WE DO NOT ADVOCATE THE HUNTING OF SQUIRRELS STRICTLY FOR THEIR TAILS! Squirrel tails cannot be sold in CA, ID, OR & TX.
