Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach

Not mean to hijack your thread. I've caught many sandies and hybrids with #3, #4, and #5 Mepps learning from Mr Dennis. Mepps are expensive and they average at $5 a piece. So I bought the supplies to make some. Some of the Mepps I made. Save a lot of money.

Save a lot of money.  those look really clean!! my wire is pretty rugged LOL. i was thinking about getting some bodies like that!.. what oz are those? so far my spinners are averaging out to be $5 a piece.. but i assume the more i make the more i will save. ---i should sell some. to help even out the cost! lol

1abufan: My fishing now is on lakes from a boat, but I have caught good catches of white bass below lake dams (Texoma once in 1975, Livingston in the 1970s and Eagle Mountain in the 1970s) using a #2 silver Mepps plain Aglia spinner. Not sure they had hybrids or stripers below the dams back then. I do catch hybrids and stripers in with the whites out on the lakes with Mepps #s 2,3, and 4. nice youtube clip Dennis!!

I would do a comparison test if I were you. 2 friends made Mepps replicas for me. I tried them along side the original Mepps. The replicas couldn't do nearly as well as the Mepps. I can't explain it but suggest you verify yours works as well as original.

When I learned how to read my graph taught by Mr Dennis I feel more confident catching fish. @gotta fish...you are absolutely correct if you can find those school of fish they'll bite on anything. I've limited out on my homemade Mepps on two occasions at Ray Roberts when they were schooling under the boat. Hopefully I can run to Cedar Creek this Friday and try the Mepps down there too.
