Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury 5, 1/2oz Black / Fluorescent Red spinning lure #3576

Black-enameled blades featuring vibrant fluorescent red dots define this specific 1/2oz (14g) specimen. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in length, this Mepps Black Fury 5 (Product Code: 3576) showcases the classic design assembled in the USA using high-quality components manufactured in France. The blade is clearly stamped with the Mepps logo and "Black Fury" branding in a matching red hue, centered around the number 5, which indicates its larger profile. A series of stacked, graduated beads in a warm orange tone forms the body, supported by a golden brass clevis and spacer. Attached via a sturdy wire form, the gold-finished treble hook remains in excellent condition. This lure is extremely clean, earning a 4/5 rating, showing only minor surface marks on the blade's finish from its time in a tackle box. The contrast between the deep black finish and the bright spots is a hallmark of this series, designed for visibility during casting sessions.
