Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 2, 3/16oz Black / Red spinning lure #13514

Seven red-orange dots stand out sharply against the matte black finish of the spinner blade on this size 2 model. Featuring a classic brass body with distinct ribbing and a vibrant red bead at the tail, this lure reflects the high production standards of the Mepps brand. The blade is clearly stamped with "MEPPS 2 BLACK FURY" in red lettering, identifying it as a piece with components manufactured in France and assembled in the USA. This specimen, identified by product code 13514, comes equipped with a sharp single hook, making it a reliable choice for catch-and-release fishing or working through light cover. At a weight of 3/16 oz (4.5 g) and a total length of 2 1/4" (6 cm), it remains a staple for light-tackle anglers targeting trout or panfish. I would rate the condition as 5/5, noting the crispness of the painted dots and the clean state of the wire frame.
