Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Black Fury Combo Killer 2, 1/4oz Black / Yellow spinning lure #6218

Yellow spots on a matte black blade define this size 2 Mepps Black Fury, a configuration long favored for its high-contrast visual profile. Weighing 1/4 oz (6.5 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure features a stack of brass weights and a single red bead to provide balance along the central wire. This specimen, identified by product code 6218, is in 5/5 condition, showing the meticulous preservation expected of a collector's piece. The hardware reflects the brand's heritage, with components manufactured in France and final assembly completed in the USA. A vibrant yellow curly tail trailer is rigged onto an offset hook, adding a soft-plastic element to the traditional spinner design. The blade itself is stamped with the classic "Mepps 2 Black Fury" logo, identifying it as part of a series that has remained a mainstay in tackle collections for decades.
