Mepps Musky Marabou 2 Blade

Mepps bucktails and marabous were voted America’s favorite musky bucktail by the readers of Musky Hunter magazine.

Mepps Marabous will catch a variety of gamefish. Its wide #5 Colorado blade brings the Mepps Marabou close to the surface during the retrieve, making these spinners ideal for fishing over weeds, or those times when the lure should just break the surface as its blade spins.

Both largemouth and smallmouth bass, as well as big trout and walleye will take a #3 Mepps Marabou. It is comparable in size to the classic #3 Mepps Aglia but, like its big brother, the #5 Mepps Marabou, it has the action of a top quality, brightly colored marabou tail for high visibility and lifelike movement.

Don’t be surprised if you catch a trophy northern pike or musky while fishing either of these lures. In fact, the #5 Mepps Marabou was designed to easily fish water missed by many musky fishermen. While the medium-running Mepps Musky Killer is “old reliable” to musky anglers, and the heavier Mepps Giant Killer, with it’s willow leaf blade, runs deep and casts easily, the Mepps Marabou was designed, as mentioned earlier, for fishing over weeds.

A marabou tail also provides additional benefits. Marabou in the water has distinctly different characteristics than bucktail. Vibrant colors are easier to achieve when dying marabou. The real difference, however, is in the action and pulsation of marabou. That unruly, fluffy puff of feathers becomes “magic” under water. It is so fine and soft that each revolution of the blade makes the marabou pulsate and appear to come alive.
