Featuring chartreuse dots against a deep black blade, this size 4 spinner stands out in any collection of classic inline hardware. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, this specimen carries product code 18873 and represents the iconic Mepps design lineage. The components were crafted in France and assembled in the USA, a detail found on the blades of many mid-century Mepps lures. The teardrop blade is stamped with "MEPPS BLACK FURY" and the number 4, while the weighted brass body features distinct horizontal ribbing. A small red bead provides a sharp visual transition between the metallic body and the trailing treble hook. This lure is in excellent condition, rated at 5/5, with the paint on the blade remaining vivid and the metal surfaces showing high clarity.
