>>1045279Pic related, or the ones with the gold blade and slightly darker brown skirt, those are my favorite all-around Mepps.
If I know I'm going for LMB tho, I will run larger than a #2. I like #3-#4 depending on how big they are.
And for some reason, everybody seems to reccommend the bare hook Mepps for trout, and the dressed ones for basically everything else.
>>1045365>tfw Skid is actually right about somethingI was the same way. My main rods were Ugly Stiks for years when I was younger because everybody talked about them. Then I realized what "Action" is.
>>1045398Yeah you just gotta grab it right with the pliers and jam it back in. But bass are easier to unhook than lots of other fish with more fleshy mouths. One time I hooked a snek in the tongue and I damn near ripped his lower jaw off trying to get my Mepps back.
>>1045474Not bad for getting into memecasters. But as fun as memecasters are, I think spinning setups are more versatile if you want to run lighter lures and go for panfish. So it depends what you want to do.
