Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 4 Dressed, 1/4oz spinning lure #16913

Black enamel coating on the size 4 blade provides the distinctive high-contrast background for those iconic yellow fluorescent dots. This Mepps Black Fury 4 Dressed, listed under product code 16913, features a total length of 2 3/4" (7 cm) and a weight of 1/4 oz (8 g). The lure's French-manufactured components were assembled in the USA, showcasing the classic brass body segments and a bright orange strike-indicator bead located just above the hook. Its treble hook is finished with a vibrant yellow dressing, which increases the visual profile while masking the hardware. With a condition rating of 4/5, this specimen maintains a very clean appearance with only minor evidence of previous handling, preserving the sharp gold-colored lettering on the blade.
