Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 3 Dressed, 1/4oz Black / Chartreuse spinning lure #8815

Chartreuse dots against a matte black blade characterize this size 3 Mepps Black Fury, providing high visual contrast in the water. Weighing 1/4oz (7.3g) with a total length of 2 1/4" (6cm), the lure is constructed on a stainless wire frame with a brass body featuring black recessed grooves. A translucent red bead sits just above the hook eye, serving as a strike point. The treble hook is meticulously dressed with squirrel tail hair, blending dark olive and bright chartreuse fibers to create a larger profile. This specimen, product code 8815, was assembled in the USA using premium components manufactured in France. The condition is rated 5/5, showing exceptionally clean paint on the blade and bright, unoxidized brass hardware. Gold-finish hooks remain sharp and free of any wear, consistent with its well-preserved state.
