Mepps XD (Xtra Deep) Dressed: Enhanced Action for the Deepest Strikes
The Mepps XD Dressed takes the legendary deep-running performance of the standard XD and adds a hand-tied bucktail for increased profile and lifelike movement. Engineered to reach the depths where trophy fish hide, this "Dressed" version is a specialized tool for big water and heavy current.
The Power of the Dressed Treble Hook
The addition of a natural bucktail dressing transforms the lure's underwater signature:
-
Pulsating Bucktail Action: The hand-tied tail "breathes" as it moves through the water, expanding and contracting to mimic the fins of a swimming baitfish.
-
Larger Visual Silhouette: The dressing adds bulk without adding significant weight, creating a larger target that triggers more aggressive strikes from bass, trout, and walleye.
-
Increased Parachute Effect: The bucktail adds a slight amount of drag, which slows the descent just enough to maximize the "spin-on-the-drop" action, keeping the lure in the strike zone longer.
Signature XD Engineering
The Dressed version retains all the technical advantages that make the XD series a deep-water leader:
-
Solid Brass Fulcrum Bead: Located between the blade and body, this precision bead allows the blade to spin at any speed—including while the lure is falling.
-
Shaft-Mounted Blade: The blade is mounted directly on the shaft (no clevis), which reduces water resistance and allows the lure to run extra deep in heavy current.
-
Solid Brass Construction: Machined brass components provide the weight needed for long casts and the durability to survive rocky river bottoms.
