Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 4, 1/3oz black/yellow spinning lure #19551

A stark black-painted blade decorated with seven bright yellow dots defines the visual character of this size 4 inline spinner. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in total length, the specimen represents a classic design intended for casting across various freshwater environments. Carrying the product code 19551, the lure's construction features a solid brass body made of stacked, grooved weights and a singular teardrop-shaped bead. A vibrant orange plastic bead provides a sharp contrast just above the treble hook. The blade is stamped with the "Mepps 4 Black Fury" designation on the face, while the reverse side is marked "Mepps Comet" and "Made in France," indicating the origin of its components prior to being assembled in the USA. This particular lure is in 4/5 condition, showing clean surfaces on both the painted blade and the gold-toned hardware.
