Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 3 Dressed , 1/4oz spinning lure #19402

Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, this spinner features the iconic Mepps Black Fury aesthetics that have been a staple for trout and bass anglers for decades. The brass-toned body consists of several segments leading to a vibrant red bead, which serves as a focal point just above the hook assembly. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7.3g), the lure is equipped with a size 3 blade, specifically stamped on the underside with "Made in France," reflecting the high-quality components used before final assembly in the USA. The black blade is decorated with a series of bright yellow dots, a pattern synonymous with the Black Fury line designed for visibility in low-light conditions. This specimen, identified by product code 19402, is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with no signs of use or wear on the hardware. Its treble hook is meticulously dressed with a combination of yellow and black natural squirrel tail fur, finished with a tight red thread wrap. The clevis is designed for smooth rotation of the Comet-style blade around the central stainless steel wire. Every component, from the brass beads to the gold-plated hook, remains bright and factory-fresh.
