The MirrOlure MirrOmullet is a small profile topwater lure I like to use for inshore fishing.
It’s a lure that is made to imitate a finger mullet.
This is a solid lure for targeting redfish, trout, snook and even tarpon.
There are some aspects of this lure that I am not a fan of and I also like to make some adjustment to it before I rig it up.
In this review, I give you my top pros and cons for the MirrOmullet. I also show you the best way to rig this lure in the video review at the bottom of the article.

Top Pros & Cons Of The MirrOlure MirrOmullet
In this section, I go over the top pros and cons I’ve found for the MirrOlure MirrOmullet.
Tops Pros Of The MirrOmullet
This lure offers some great advantages when on the water. These are the top pros I’ve found for the MirrOmullet.
Small Profile
The MirrOmullet is smaller than most topwater lures on the market today. This gives you an advantage in a couple situations. This is a good topwater lure to use when the fish are keyed in on small baitfish.
Good Action
This lure has a tight, clean walk-the-dog action. It’s really good for flat and calm conditions because the lure does not make too much of a splash when it’s worked on the surface.
Top Cons Of The MirrOmullet
This lure is not a good choice to use in some conditions. These are the tops cons I’ve found to this lure.
Not Great In Windy Conditions
This lure is not very effective in windy and choppy conditions. It can’t be cast far in the wind and the action doesn’t work very well in choppy water.
Not A Fan Of The Hooks
I’m not a fan of the standard hooks that come with this lure. When I get a new MirrOmullet, I change the standard treble hooks out with Gamakatsu Extra Wide Gap #4 Treble hooks. These hooks give me a better hookup ratio when using this lure.

Conclusion
This is a good topwater lure to use in calm conditions or when the fish are keyed in on small baitfish.
This is not a good lure to use in rough conditions and the action will likely be altered in a negative way if you try.
I definitely recommend removing the split ring and using the lure with a loop knot when rigging it up.

Tony,
Would you consider single hooks for this lure?
Hey David,
I always recommend single hooks, especially if you are in an area with big fish. Single hooks will hold up much better than trebles, but you may miss a lot of strikes from smaller fish.
Thanks for the review. I was using it with the ring so will definitely remove this and continue using it with the loop knot
No problem Luis!
Great lure…good video. Something to try….I’ll sometimes use a slow steady retrieve just under the surface. It won’t have a lot of side to side movement,kinda like a doa mullet ,but mullet dont naturally have a lot of swimming action anyway except at the tail. It may not look like it’s doing much …a slight wobble here and there but I’ve caught a ton of snook fishing it that way.
Just something to give a try….
Ignore that. I’ve never tried one of these mirrolures.
Had it confused w something else.
(need.a delete optionn here)????
Great tip Nick, thanks!
So I see you don’t use the ole speed clip that you did a report on oh well to each his or her own I love the speed clip because then I can change out baits in a snap and they are super strong but I do agree with you in that the mirror lures hooks are not my favorite either but I have been using those inline singles on all my plugs now and really love them plus another advantage to that is the plugs all seem to be a bit more weedless then when I used trebled but to tell the truth I don’t really use alot of mirror lures even though I have a ton of them but maybe I should more because I know they do work anyways thanks for the report and all you do????
Nope I’m personally not a fan of speed clips or snap swivels. I bring 2 or 3 rods on a trip and have my 3 go-to lures rigged and ready to go, so I rarely change baits throughout the day.
I do the same in fact my boat has probably about 6 to 8 rods rigged and ready to go but as you know sometimes there are days when the fish want something different then what you have rigged so unless you change baits you might miss the bite I never use a snap swivel but to me the speed clip is very strong and very easy to use so when the time does eventually come where you should change baits its alot more convenient then cutting off and retieing but to each his own and whatever works for ya????
great review. would you consider single hooks?
Thanks Bill!

Good info as usual. Would you recommend single hooks?
Thanks Michael!

Good stuff, Tony………I really like the Trokar EWG trebles in sizes 2 or 4 depending on lure size. They’re a bit lighter yet super strong. They are expensive, however.
Thanks Gary!
