Mepps Musky Killer, 3/4 oz

By A Mystery Man Writer

The Mepps Musky Killer Spinner is a great early-season musky lure. Musky season opens early on many shallow northern musky lakes, and fishing these cold waters with inline spinners can be the key to early season success. A deliberate presentation is needed; try slow-cranking a Mepps Musky Killer through shallow bays and large flats with emerging weeds. It's also an excellent warm-water spinner for burning over mature weedbeds; be sure to tick the tops to trigger more strikes.

Mepps plain Aglias in size #00 or #0 are perfect for panfish (bluegills or sunfish) and small stream trout. They are very light, however, and require a nimble rod, equipped with a light action reel spooled with light line; nothing heavier than six-pound-test. Two-pound-test to four-pound-test is better. Aglias in size #1 and #2 are perfect for larger stream trout and large bluegills, sunfish and crappies. Size #2 Aglias are also excellent for smallmouth bass and walleye.
