Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 3, 1/3oz black/green spinning lure #23355

Featuring a black-painted teardrop blade decorated with seven distinct yellow dots, this spinner exemplifies the high-contrast aesthetic Mepps is known for. At 1/3oz (9g) in weight, the lure is balanced for various casting conditions. This specific Mepps Black Fury 3, product code 23355, includes a bright chartreuse curly tail grub mounted on a single hook, adding a soft-plastic element to the traditional spinner design. The assembly, totaling 3 1/2" (9cm), utilizes components made in France and was put together in the USA. A series of stacked brass weights and a vibrant orange bead sit on the wire shaft above the hook eye. The condition is rated 5/5, as the black finish on the blade remains crisp and the soft plastic trailer is supple and untarnished. The blade is clearly stamped with the model name and size, identifying it as a staple in the Black Fury lineup.
