Over the years the theory of big lures catching big fish has been proven time again. Summer and fall trophy musky fishing calls for larger lures and faster retrieves. Big fish are looking for big prey. The Musky Marabou was designed specifically to catch big fish during this highly active feeding period. Thousands of musky and trophy northern pike fishermen around the world call Mepps Musky Killers, Giant Killers and Magnum Musky Killers their confidence trophy lures. The Mepps Marabou and Musky Marabou compliment this great line-up of Mepps musky lures. Both the big Musky Marabou and the down-sized Mepps Marabou can, under the right circumstances, be perfect trophy spinners for anglers who chase the biggest predator in the lake. The quality of the marabou feathers used in every one of these lures is one of the pri-mary reasons they attract trophy fish. Every Marabou spinner Mepps manufactures fea-tures the highest quality hand-dyed and hand-tied feathers for maximum durability... fish after fish. Musky Marabous also feature the classic, time-tested Mepps tandem hook assembly featuring extra-strong, extremely sharp hooks. Mepps Marabous all feature a premium super sharp 5/0 bronze treble hook. Like all Mepps, both the Musky Marabou and Mepps Marabou are designed, manufactured and assembled to the highest standards, with the finest compo-nents.Musky Marabou... One of the biggest problems facing musky and northern pike fishermen is weeds. The best summer and fall fishing coincides with periods of maximum weed growth. Now, how-ever, thanks to the exclusive Mepps high-speed, free-spinning clevis and the Musky Marabou’s extra-strong high-lift blade, trophy fishermen have a spinner that can be run at

medium to very high speeds. This makes the Musky Marabou perfect for running over the top of either shallow or deep-water weeds. It is also perfect for many other kinds of structure including fallen logs or timber. The Musky Marabou’s high-lift, hand-tied tandem marabou tail has so much action in the water it almost looks alive. This unbeliev-able lifelike action is produced by the wave and flow of the soft, high-quality, durable marabou feathers. The extreme vibration and high flash of the Mepps Colorado blade, coupled with the natural swimming/undulating movement of the marabou tail makes the new Mepps Musky Marabou one of the most irresistible trophy musky lures you will find anywhere. Two years of on-the-water field testing under the most demanding conditions pro-duced unbelievable results and re-emphasized the demanding quality built into this lure.

It’s not only fun fishing the Mepps Musky Marabou, it’s also very easy to fish. Use a medium to fast retrieve over the top of weeds where heavier, lower-lift spinners just can’t be retrieved this way without getting fouled. This is trophy fish water where, up to now, these huge predators were safe from the trophy musky hunter.

Mepps Marabou... The Mepps Marabou was designed to eas-ily fish water missed by many musky fisher-men. The medium-running Mepps Musky Killer is “old reliable” to musky anglers, while the heavier Mepps Giant Killer, with it’s willow leaf blade, runs deep and casts easily. The Mepps Marabou, however, was designed with other functions in mind.

To begin with, the Mepps Marabou’s Colorado blade brings the spinner closer to the surface during the retrieve. This design is ideal for fishing over weeds or those times when the lure should just break the surface as its blade spins. The marabou tail provides additional ben-efits. Marabou in the water has distinctly differ-ent 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 come alive. Both the Mepps Marabou and Musky Marabou are perfect for fishing over wood, near structure, or burned/bulged right under the water’s surface to trigger an instinctive response from aggressive trophy fish.
