Mepps XD (= Xtra Deep) has become an absolute bestseller for trout and perch anglers in recent years. Due to the compact weight and the special design of the spinner blade, the lure not only flies particularly far, but also fishes significantly deeper than most other spinners of the same size. This is a particularly important factor in stream and river fishing, where strong currents and deep pools alternate and the lure must be offered directly to the fish's hiding places. Or, for example, on fast-sloping edges, in dams, dredge pits, channels, etc., where schools of perch like to hang out.
The heavier weight and the special configuration of the spinner blade, coupled with the irresistible color combinations make this small lure a real catching machine. The fluorescent bead at the end of the teardrop-shaped body is the cherry on top, reflecting UV light even in deep layers and cloudy water.
For the creek and perch enthusiasts, an absolute must-have in the tackle box!

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.
