Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 2 Dressed (squirrel tail), 3/16oz spinning lure #17077

Weighted at 3/16oz (4.7g), this inline spinner features a classic size 2 blade that is a favorite among anglers for its distinct visual profile. The blade is finished in a rich black coating and decorated with five bright yellow dots surrounding a larger central one, positioned right under the Mepps 2 Black Fury engraving. This specific piece, cataloged under product code 17077, reaches a total length of 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and comes equipped with a hand-tied squirrel tail dressing on the treble hook. Regarding its current state, the lure shows a clean appearance but has one broken point on the hook, resulting in a 4/5 condition rating. Assembled in the USA with French components, the design is rounded out by a red plastic bead and matching red thread used to secure the natural hair dressing.
