What’s New?

We’ve had several requests for a Mepps® Aglia® with tandem tails

and we’ve listened... as you can see on the opposite page. We

have also added the Aglia® BRITE to the catalog this year. Aglia®

BRITES feature a silver or gold blade, and a colorful body. The back

of the spinning blade reflects the color of the body as the lure is

retrieved providing maximum fish-attracting contrast.

What’s This?

We’ve been telling you for a long time now

we’re very proud of the fact that the Mepps

spinners and spoons sold in the U.S.A. are all

hand assembled in the U.S.A. We use the finest

components possible to assure quality. These

include stainless steel shafts, solid brass blades

and bodies, silver, and in some cases, gold plating.

Our beads are lathe-turned. Finishes include proprietary blends of

epoxy and vinyl finishes. Three generations of fishermen have been

catching fish with Mepps lures. Chances are you have a Mepps in

your tackle box that was given to you by your grandfather. If you

do, you can be assurred it will work as well as the day he bought it.

Mike Sheldon on Alaska’s Kanektok River.

I like to browse around fishing tackle stores and tackle

departments in department stores. I still love to fish, just

as I have all my life. Looking at what’s new, packaging, and,

particularily, the source of manufacture.

It’s fascinating to watch fishermen and listen to them

talk while they’re making their decisions of what to buy.

One day while looking over a display of Mepps at a local

retailer, another shopper turned to me - Mepps spinner

in hand - and said, “I can’t believe these cost so much

when they are made right here in Antigo.” I didn’t know if

I should respond or not, so I just smiled and continued to

look around.

My first thought was , “That’s the problem.” Not

that manufacturing costs are extremely high in Antigo,

Wisconsin, but, they are higher than in China, other Asian

countries, Eastern Europe or Latin America. That’s why so

many of our competitors source their products overseas.

Unfortunately, we, as Americans often feel the best

price is the best deal. At Mepps, we feel the best value is

the best deal. Mepps lures could be made to look exactly

as they do now at a cheaper price, but, quality would

have to be sacrificed. We are not prepared to make that

sacrifice, and lose our good reputation and identity.

If you take a tour of our facility (your invited), you’ll

see local people hand-assembling lures from parts we

manufacture ourselves from raw materials we source

on our own. Not that we have never outsourced any

Where's the Order Form?

There is no order form in the 2012 Fishing

Guide. Most of our customers have stopped

using them. Fishermen are taking advantage

of our monthly specials and ordering their

lures from our web site. If you would like a

printed order form you can download it at:

www.mepps.com/catalog, or call us toll

free M-Th, 7:30 am – 4:00 pm and we will

be glad to e-mail, fax or mail one to you.

materials. That’s how we know it’s difficult to control

quality and inventories when you don’t do it yourself.

For example, you typically find out a subcontractor has

changed specs on the wire shaft you used after you have

some thousands of lures out in fishermen’s hands. We’re

not comfortable with that.

Shop your favorite retailer for genuine Mepps lures. If

you can’t find what you want, refer to

your Mepps catalog, and come take a

tour to see how Mepps are made.

Good fishin',

The Mepps® #5 Aglia® Tandem is perfect for large bass, trophy

northern pike and early season musky. All Aglia® Tandems

feature a heavy-duty #1/0 bronze treble hook with a #2 treble

hook trailer. The hand-tied tandem tail is genuine bucktail,

dyed in brilliant fish-attracting colors. Not only does the

tandem tail give this lure a larger profile, the #2 “stinger” hook

lets you “cash-in” on those short strikes. Solid brass blades and

bodies, a durable stainless steel shaft and a rugged folded

solid brass clevis means this lure will hold-up under the

toughest fishing pressure.
