Mepps Syclops – spoons for pike, perch and zander
Price from £ 6.75 View productsWhy does Mepps Syclops work so well?
Mepps Syclops is a deeply curved fishing spoon with a strong, winding action that reacts quickly to changes in retrieve speed. A slight acceleration, a slower turn of the reel handle or a short pause is enough to change the rhythm of the lure. On a controlled fall, especially on a tight line, the spoon flashes irregularly and often triggers fish that have followed it without striking.
Distinctive Syclops spoon action
The shape of the Syclops allows it to imitate a weakened, disoriented or fleeing baitfish. It swings from side to side, flashes strongly and keeps a clear action at different retrieve speeds. This makes it useful both for steady covering of water and for more active retrieves with short pauses and speed changes.
Fishing in still waters and rivers
Syclops was designed mainly for still waters, where its weight and shape help with long, accurate casts. It works well in lakes, reservoirs, bays, along drop-offs and over open water. In rivers it can also be fished across the current, through stronger flow and in salmonid water, where its stable action remains easy to contr...

Syclops
Mepps Syclops is a deeply curved fishing spoon with a strong, winding action that reacts quickly to changes in retrieve speed. A slight acceleration, a slower turn of the reel handle or a short pause is enough to change the rhythm of the lure. On a controlled fall, especially on a tight line, the spoon flashes irregularly and often triggers fish that have followed it without striking.

Fishing in still waters and rivers
Syclops was designed mainly for still waters, where its weight and shape help with long, accurate casts. It works well in lakes, reservoirs, bays, along drop-offs and over open water. In rivers it can also be fished across the current, through stronger flow and in salmonid water, where its stable action remains easy to control.
Which size to choose
The smallest sizes are a good choice for perch, trout, chub and ide, especially when you need a compact spoon with a lively action. Medium and larger models are well suited to pike and zander, particularly when fished slowly near the bottom or along structure. The largest sizes also make sense for sea trout, salmon and strong river fishing.
Colours and practical use
The Syclops range includes natural, metallic and brighter colour patterns, so it can be matched to water clarity, light level and fish activity. Silver and gold finishes are good starting points in clear water, while stronger red, green, blue, phospho, fluo and tiger-style patterns help when extra visibility or a stronger visual trigger is needed.
Mepps
Mepps is one of the most recognisable names in spinning lures. For many anglers, the brand immediately means classic inline spinners, stable blade rotation and simple, proven lures for predators. The range includes Mepps inline spinners and spoons, small models for trout and perch, as well as larger lures for pike, sea trout, salmon, zander and catfish.
Mepps inline spinners for rivers, lakes and canals
Inline spinners are the core of the Mepps range. The classic Aglia, with its wide blade, is well suited to slow and medium retrieves, still water, calmer current, fishing above vegetation and working along the bank. Aglia Long has a narrower blade, creates less resistance and is a better option for current and deeper presentations. Black Fury, Comet, Aglia Fluo, Aglia Neon and Aglia-e make it easier to match colour, contrast and lure action to water clarity, light level and fish activity.
Mepps Syclops spoons for bigger water
Mepps Syclops spoons are an important part of the range. They are designed for lakes, reservoirs, larger rivers and deeper areas where anglers need longer casting, a wider swimming action or a stronger side flash. Mepps spoons are useful when covering drop-offs, flats, channels, weed edges and places where pike, zander or bigger perch do not always react to a classic inline spinner.
How to choose a Mepps lure for different fish
For perch, trout, chub and ide, smaller Mepps spinners in sizes #00 to #2 are usually the most useful. For general river and lake spinning, sizes #2 and #3 are very versatile and can cover perch, trout, chub, ide, smaller pike and zander. For larger predators, it is worth choosing #4 and #5 models, bigger pike spinners, tandem designs or heavier spoons that create a stronger signal and remain visible in bigger water.
Aglia, Black Fury, Comet, Lusox, XD and other Mepps series
Mepps Aglia is the classic choice for slower retrieves and a wide range of venues. Black Fury is useful when a darker outline, stronger contrast and a clear visual target are needed. Comet has a versatile action and works well for perch, trout and river predators. Lusox is mainly associated with pike and deeper presentations, while XD is a good choice when the lure needs to fish lower in the water or work effectively in stronger current.
Choosing Mepps colours for fishing conditions
Silver Mepps spinners are a good choice in clearer water, brighter light and situations where predators react to a strong flash. Gold works well in slightly coloured water, under cloud cover and in venues with a warmer water tone. Copper is worth using for more cautious fish or softer light, while black, fluo and high-contrast versions help in stained water, cloudy weather and situations where a faster reaction strike is needed.
Mepps lures for pike, trout, perch and zander
The Mepps range makes it easy to build a lure box for most spinning venues. For small rivers and trout, small inline spinners in natural or contrasting colours are a strong starting point. For perch, small and medium Aglia, Comet, Black Fury and colour-accented versions are useful choices. For pike, larger spinners, Syclops spoons, Lusox and models with a stronger pressure wave and bigger profile are worth considering. For zander and fish holding deeper, heavier models, narrower blades and lures that can reach lower water layers are often the better option.
Why Mepps lures are worth keeping in the box
Mepps spinners and spoons are easy to fish, easy to feel through the rod and effective in many situations. They can quickly check fish activity and cover banks, shallow runs, deeper channels, flats, reed lines and underwater vegetation. A wide choice of sizes, colours and blade types makes it simple to match the lure to the season, water clarity, depth and target species. These are lures that fit both light spinning for perch and trout and stronger predator fishing for pike, sea trout, salmon, zander and catfish.
