Nepag "Original"The Nepag Weight Forward Spinner is the world's original "weight-forward" lure. Created in Nipigon, Ontario Canada by Don Gapen (Dan's Father) in 1941. This new lure has been re-created by the Gapen Company. The Nepag was originally made to entice the world famous brook trout of the Nipigon River. Using a Nepal Weight Forward Spinner, the fishermen is able to cast a long way, drive the bait down in currents and keep a bait down during trolling.
The new Nepag Weight Forward Spinner, during 14 months of testing, proved to out-perform the original lure by taking white-bass, muskie, and striper, plus a number of saltwater species such as weak fish, redfish, halibut, cod and flounder.
The action of the spinner, the quality materials including real hair and quality feather materials has the look and "taste" the fish love. Because it is natural and not plastic, fish get a feel and "taste" for the lure and hold on just a little longer than plastics and hard plastic baits. Giving them something to chew and feel, gives fisherman just a little longer time to set the hook before the fish throw the lower or spit it back out.
Vertical Jigging the new Nepag weight forward spinner worked well in field tests on halibut, summer flounder and rock fish species in saltwater. In freshwater, this jigging technique is deadly on freshwater gamefish such as walleye and the bass species.
Use the Nepag to fish deeper waters and current where regular spinners don't dare to go.

How-To Use the Nepag
Casting and retrieving this lure requires a slow lifting and lowering of rod tip for best results. A similar method is used when trolling. Jigging the bottom with a slow lift and lower will produce all bottom hugging game fish such as bass and walleye. The Nepag hosts a "glow" head made of tin, a light flashing holographic spinner, upriding snagfree hook and a deerhair body which holds scenting 10 times longer than plastic.
Method #1:
Cast, allow the Nepag to settle to the bottom, then lift and lower as it rolls up off the bottom, then settle once again. The Nepag can be worked through weed growth due to its snagfree hook position.
Method #2:
Vertically jig the Nepag and allow it to settle to the bottom. Then raise it a foot or so, lower and repeat. This presentation is enhanced by tipping the Nepag with live or cut bait.
NOTE: A straight rolling retrieve will entice species such as brook, brown and rainbow trout. Bass, pike, muskie, striper, hybrids, and white-bass will also succumb to the slow rolling retrieve.
NOTE: When selecting colors for the species you seek, go to the color that works best for you in crankbaits and jigs. Orange, natural and black are "HOT" smallmouth bass & trout colors while green works well on largemouth bass. Northern pike prefer the bright colors while walleye color picks would be yellow and chartreuse.
