Mepps Giant Tandem – Spinnerbaits for Pike and Catfish

Mepps Giant Tandem is a series of oversized inline spinners developed for anglers targeting the largest predatory fish. The design combines a large No. 5 Aglia Long blade with an oversized dressed tail made from hair and feathers, creating a substantial profile and additional movement in the water. Weighing 45 g, Giant Tandem is designed primarily for big pike but is equally suitable for other powerful predators.

Action in the water

The elongated Aglia Long blade produces a stable rotation even at slower retrieve speeds, generating strong flashes and pronounced vibrations. The large dressed tail moves naturally behind the spinner, adding visual attraction and increasing the lure's overall presence. This combination makes Giant Tandem highly visible and effective when searching for trophy-sized fish.

Retrieve and practical use

This series was developed mainly for lakes and large stillwaters where predators often hunt in open water. Giant Tandem performs best on a steady retrieve at moderate or slow speed. Due to its 45 g weight, it is best used with powerful spinning tackle. The lure can also be trolled effectively behind a boat when fished slowly and at sufficient distance.

Target species

Mepps Giant Tandem is primarily intended for large pike, but it is also a proven option for catfish and other powerful predators. Its large profile and strong vibration make it a valuable lure whenever the goal is to selectively target bigger fish in lakes, reservoirs and expansive stillwaters.
