Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 3, 1/4oz spinning lure #15958

Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the solid brass body of this spinner features deep black-filled grooves that provide a sharp visual contrast against its golden metallic base. This specific specimen, identified by product code 15958, carries the 'MEPPS 3 COMET MADE IN FRANCE' stamp on the reverse of the blade, signifying its assembly in the USA using authentic French components. The obverse side is finished in a matte black coating, decorated with seven vibrant orange dots and clear orange lettering. Positioned just above the gold-plated treble hook is a translucent red bead, serving as a focal point for trailing fish. This hook retains its original red thread wrap around the shank and remains in 5/5 condition. The stainless steel wire form is straight, terminating in a clean top loop for secure line attachment during casting or steady retrieval through the water column.
