Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 00, 1/16oz Black / Fluorescent Green spinning lure #14259

Assembled in the USA using components originally manufactured in France, this delicate ultra-light spinner is a staple for clear-water fishing. Weighing 1/16oz (1.6g) with a total length of 2" (5cm), the Mepps Black Fury 00 (product code 14259) is built on a slender wire shaft that hosts a series of brass body segments. The black blade features high-contrast Fluorescent Green and yellow accents, including the iconic Mepps branding and the size 00 designation. A single, sharp hook is preceded by a vibrant red bead that serves as a specific target point for following fish. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a clean, bright finish on the metal components and crisp, unmarred text on the blade face. This specific configuration is a precision-engineered tool designed for casting in small streams where a stealthy approach is required.
