A natural squirrel tail dressing tied with bright red thread distinguishes this Mepps Black Fury 2, a design that has proven its worth across generations of anglers. Tipping the scales at 3/16 oz (4.7 g), this spinner carries the distinctive black blade decorated with high-visibility yellow dots and the classic French-made stamp. The assembly, identified by product code 16454, spans 2 3/4" (7 cm) and features a vivid orange plastic bead positioned behind the brass-weighted body. While the core components were crafted in France, the final lure was assembled in the USA. The overall condition is a solid 4/5, showing light evidence of time while preserving the integrity of the hair-dressed treble hook and the blade's dark finish.
