Hi Lads

Back in the early/mid 80's I seem to remember Abu brought out a spinner called the " Abu sea mepps??? can anyone recall it or one with a similar name?? The mepps part is confusing to me and may not be correct as they may of had legal problems had they called it a mepps. ( just the name sticks in my brain)

The lure was a great catcher of Sea Trout back then. Similar shape to a toby but no Fins,, Silver in colour, no patternation at all on lure, was around 10g in weight and definately wasn't a Koster or Krill although it was supposed to imitate a sand eel.
If anybody has one or an old abu Cat with a photo of one, could they upload a photo please

Many Thanks

Shaun

Wayne Real knows as much about ABU tackle as anyone, have a look on his site and see if it's there. He's very approachable if you contact him directly. He once helped me source a part to make my Delta 5 reel right hand wind.

Thanks for reply

Ive already spoke to Wayne re the lure, he's never heard of one and is keen to see one.

There was an Abu Pep which was in a "Must Pack" I had but I was sure is was for Mackerel. Definately never heard of a Abu Mepp. Other that The Droppen which is based on the Mepp/Vibro idea. Mepp is a registered trade name & I doubt ABU would have used it. There is a picture of one on that site above.
