Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 0, 3/32oz black red spinning lure #19999

Weighing in at a delicate 3/32 oz (2.5 g), this spinner is a precision tool for light-tackle enthusiasts targeting trout and panfish. The Mepps Black Fury 0, identified by product code 19999, features a black-finished blade accented with high-visibility fluorescent dots in the classic black red color scheme. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in total length, the construction includes a solid brass body and a striking red strike-indicator bead positioned just above the gold-plated treble hook. While the primary components were manufactured in France, this specific lure was assembled in the USA, reflecting the brand’s long-standing trans-Atlantic history. The 5/5 condition is exceptional, showing a clean blade finish and a straight wire shaft. This inline spinner is intended for casting and a steady retrieve technique in shallow stream sections or along weed edges.
