Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 2 Dressed - squirrel tail, 3/16oz spinning lure #11731

A striking black blade featuring vibrant yellow dots defines this classic spinner, which carries the product code 11731. Assembled in the USA using high-quality French-made components, the lure weighs 3/16 oz (4.7 g) and measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) in total length. The central wire assembly holds clean brass-colored body segments and a translucent red bead that acts as a visual strike point just above the dressing. For the terminal tackle, a sharp treble hook is dressed with natural squirrel tail fibers secured by a tidy red thread wrap. The gold-colored stamping on the blade face clearly identifies it as a Mepps 2 Black Fury. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing well-maintained paint on the blade and bright metal surfaces throughout.
