The Mepps® name is an acronym for Manufacture d'Engins de Précisions pour la Pêche Sportive.

Mr. André Meulnart designed the first Mepps, and what is commonly referred to as the original French spinner, in 1938. He named his creation the AGLIA®, which is Latin for butterfly. With worldwide sales approaching 500,000,000 spinners since that first Aglia was produced, Mepps is arguably the most popular and productive lure ever introduced.

The Black Fury® Fire Tiger: Mepps introduces the new Fire Tiger color pattern.  Fire Tiger is a popular and proven pattern in a variety of baits and presentations.  The Black Fury Fire Tiger is a combination fluorescent red, yellow and chartreuse pattern on the traditional Black Fury black background.  Offered in sizes BF0 (1/12oz) through BF5 (1/2oz) in plain treble, dressed treble and single siwash hook options.
