Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 1 Dressed, 1/8oz spinning lure #17715

A striking black blade featuring five vibrant yellow dots defines the visual identity of this classic spinner. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.6 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the Mepps Black Fury 1 Dressed (Product Code: 17715) demonstrates the meticulous assembly of American craftsmanship using precision components made in France. A segmented brass-colored body provides the necessary heft for casting, while a bright orange bead creates a focal point just above the hook. The treble hook is dressed with a combination of yellow and black squirrel hair, neatly tied with red thread to add extra bulk and visual appeal. Stamped clearly on the blade is the "MEPPS BLACK FURY 1" logo, a hallmark of this series known for its contrast. This specific lure remains in 5/5 condition, with the paint on the blade appearing sharp and the gold-toned hook showing no signs of use.
