Mepps Plain Syclops #3 – Fluo Orange

Flash, Flutter, and Fluorescent Fire.

The Mepps Syclops is one of the most iconic spoons in freshwater and saltwater fishing — and the #3 in Fluo Orange is a colour built to dominate when visibility matters most. The elongated, concave body produces a wild, erratic flutter and flash on the fall and retrieve that predatory fish simply can't ignore. In Fluo Orange, that action is backed by a high-intensity fluorescent finish that glows in low-light conditions and cuts through stained water like a beacon. When fish need to find the bait fast, this is the spoon you tie on.

The Syclops Action Advantage

• Concave body design creates an erratic, side-to-side flutter that mimics a wounded or dying baitfish
• Produces intense flash on every movement — attracting fish from a wide area
• Deadly on the fall — the fluttering drop triggers strikes from fish holding at depth
• #3 size is the versatile sweet spot for medium to large predatory fish

Why Fluo Orange?

• High-intensity fluorescent finish is highly visible in stained, murky, and low-light conditions
• Fluorescent colours are proven to trigger aggressive reaction strikes, especially in off-colour water
• Exceptional producer at dawn, dusk, and on overcast days when fish are feeding aggressively
• One of the most reliable high-visibility colours for pike, walleye, and trout across Canadian lakes and rivers

Incredibly Versatile

• Cast and retrieve for covering open water and locating active fish
• Troll at varying speeds to find the depth and action fish want
• Jig vertically through the water column for suspended fish and ice fishing applications
• Let it flutter on a controlled fall along drop-offs and deep structure

Target Species

• Pike, walleye, trout, salmon, bass, and muskie

When to Throw It

• Stained or off-colour water where fluorescent colours outperform natural patterns
• Low-light periods — dawn, dusk, and overcast conditions
• When fish are suspended and need to be triggered on the fall
• Any time you want maximum flash and visibility in a proven spoon profile

Mepps has been producing world-class lures since 1938 — and the Syclops #3 in Fluo Orange is a prime example of why anglers around the world keep coming back. Tie it on, let it flutter, and hold on tight.
