Museum Archive: Mepps Black Fury 3, 1/4oz Black / Yellow spinning lure #13721

Seven distinct yellow dots are stamped onto the black blade of this Mepps Black Fury 3, identifying it as a staple for many anglers. Produced in the USA, the lure measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and carries a weight of 1/4 oz (7 g). The vintage packaging, bearing product code 13721, has kept the piece in unused condition. A gold-tone treble hook is secured behind a signature red bead and a stacked brass weight, providing a solid build for casting. The original card displays the traditional red and white stripes and mentions the brand's 'fish's natural food colors' philosophy. On the reverse, the Mepps stock number BF3 is visible on the barcode sticker, alongside a guide to different blade types. The blade itself is clearly marked with the manufacturer and model name surrounding the size '3' engraving.
