Nepag fishes against SpinBee
The Nepag is the angling world’s original in-line spinner lure! Often imitated, never duplicated. Created in Nipigon, Ontario, Canada byDon Gapen, Dan’s father in 1941. This NEW lure has been recreated by his son, Dan. Nepags were original made to encourage the world famous brook trout of the Nipigon River. It was then copied by John Hodackof the Paul Bunyan Bait Company in St. Paul,Minnesota, thus the Paul Bunyan 66 was born. That's right - it is a huge compliment to be copied - and we were the original - still the best.
Next the 66 was copied when the Erie Dearie weight-forward spinner came to be. Casting and retrieving this lure requires a slow lifting and lower-ing of rod tip for best results. A similar method is used when trolling. Jigging bottom with a slow lift and lower will produce all bottom-hugging game fish such as bass, lake trout, catfish, salmon and walleye. The Nepag hosts a glow head made of tin, a light-flashing holographic spinner, and up riding snag-free hook and a deer hair body which holds scenting 10 times longer than plastic.
Fishing Tips: Cast and retrieve the Nepag Big with a steady or varied retrieve to create maximum flash and vibration. Ideal for muskie and large pike around structure, weed edges, and open water. The heavier weight-forward design improves casting distance and helps the spinner track true. Experiment with retrieve speed and occasional pauses to trigger follows into strikes.
