The Black Fury with a plain treble hook is one of the great all-time Mepps spinners. The special Black
Fury blade spins closer to the body than the classic Aglia blade so it easily fishes shallow to mid-depths.
All Mepps Black Furys are excellent low light (early morning, evening or overcast) spinners as well as a
perfect choice for sunny days when contrast with the brightness of the water, weeds and structure is needed.
Whether you select a 
plain or dress Black Fury is strictly personal preference. Most panfish and bass fishermen prefer dressed
spinners, while most trout and salmon fishermen prefer plain treble hook Black Furys. Either is
very effective at catching a wide variety of freshwater game fish. Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and walleye
fishermen should also consider a Black Fury Combo.
Black Fury Dressed Treble
The dressed Black Fury is one of the great all-time Mepps spinners for catching everything from trophy
largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike and musky, to panfish and small stream trout. All dressed
Black Furys feature either natural squirrel tail or bucktail.
Black Fury Combo
Mepps Black Fury Combos are almost weedless, making them perfect for everything from trophy largemouth bass,
smallmouth bass, walleye and northern pike, to panfish and small stream trout. All Mepps Black Fury Combos
feature a Mister Twister Keeper Hook and come with three genuine Mister Twister Curly Tail Grubs.

I am a huge fan of the lime green(chartreuse dot) colored #3 Black Fury spinner. When I look back at all of the fish I have caught recently, 90% of them have been caught using the Black Fury. I love this lure! It is the only lure in my tackle box and I will go in after it I lose it on a snag (speaking from experience!!) I have even converted one of my non-believer friends into using them. I guess he finally got tired of watching me catch all the fish while he got skunked. Please, please, please NEVER STOP MAKING THIS LURE!!!! Thank you for such a great product and all of the joy it has given me in my fishing adventures!!
Sincerely,
Jordan |

| The Aglia might be my spinner during the day, but, when it comes to low light evenings or overcast days where there is little sunlight, I go to the Black Fury. Yellow and florescent red are my faves. Just throw it and reel it in. It catches anything. Thanks, Mepps, you are my number one lure. |

| Um, well, I happened along the Black Fury by accident really. Although I only have 4x 16' bass in my freezer, in the last 1.5 months, I have caught more than 60 Smallmouth Bass ranging from 6" up to 16". I have two severely abused Black Furry lures(#4's) with paint chipping off, and The fish honestly will not leave it alone. Wish I had a camera to show what I'm saying. I have never had this much fun fishing. |

| My dad, brother and I have fished a small pond that feeds in and out of a creek for about 4 years now. We had been fishing with just a worm and bobber for about 3 of them and only caught carp, bullheads, sunfish, and the occasional small bass. Then, this year we tried some old Mepps that my dad had and I could not believe the results! We usually use a Mepps #3 in any lighter color because of the muddy water. But, everytime we use the Mepps, we catch the most and biggest bass we have ever seen out of such a small creek. We, today, caught about 15 1-3 pound bass in just about 2 hours! Such a great lure! Thanks Mepps company! I have never seen a lure so good! |

| Me and my dad were fishing the Wisconsin River. When my dad saw a muskie, he tied a spinner on and tried to hook it by the tail to try to get it in, but, the Muskie had other ideas it turned and grabbed the spinner and went. Three minutes went by, but, the muskie spit it out and swam up river I tied on a Black Fury and casted up river where the Muskie went for, cast it struck it was on practically all the to the shore, when it spit out the lure straight at me I dodged. I'm glad I didn't lose the lure though. |

Headed off to the upper reaches of the Leven River this morning to fish above the Loongana Bridge which is still open as it is classed as Rainbow waters. Beautiful morning when I left home, sunshine and very little breeze, the perfect start to the day. When I arrived at Loongana, some 86kms from home, it was a different story. Quite a lot of cloud cover on and off and a very cold westerly wind, plus the odd light sprinkle of rain to top it off. The river had a nice amount of water flowing and was very tannin in colour, so decided to go to a little larger Mepps than I normally use. On with a #0 (2.5gm) Gold Black Fury and off I went. Certainly glad I had the thermals on as the river was like ice.
Was only on the forth cast and had a hook-up, and it was a nice solid medium sized brown and the colours of this fish were brilliant too. A quick photo and back it went, worked my way upstream for another 500mtrs or so and did not have a hit or a follow, so time to move further upstream. Drove up a few kms and took a little track that ran off to the left this led me down to an old wooden bridge and over the river to a nice little reserve. Started working my way upstream once again and after 20-30minutes of slipping and sliding along, I finally hooked another solid little brown which also had it's photo taken and then released. Fished on for another few hundred meters before calling it a day. And though I could only catch 2 browns from the only two hits I had, it was a fairly reasonble few hours on the Leven River. I doubt that I shall return again until the next season around Jan - Feb 2013, we'll see how it fishes then. The Mepps Black Fury once again showed how good they were as without them, I doubt that I may have caught a fish. Cheers from " The Mepps Spinfishing Guru of Tasmania" |

| I just got back from my annual fishing trip to lake of the woods. Before the trip I picked up a couple of the the Black Furys with the all yellow dots and yellow dressing. It was the first lure I put on when we got started going casting for bass and pike, and it's the only lure I used the whole trip! I caught fish steady with it and eventually had to cough over one of them to my dad so he could keep up! Great lure. |

| My friend and I were fishing around 1 p.m. in the afternoon in early May 2012 on a private pond in Pickaway County, OH. I was using a Black Fury #2 and was fishing around downed tree limbs and an old oak stump. I caught a 13 & 14 inch Black Crappie with the Black Fury #2. I would recommend this lure to anyone who likes to catch big fish. It's definitley convinced me to buy more of these type of lures. This was the biggest Crappie I've ever caught. |

| I fish ponds & at the lake from shore. I've been fishing from shore all my life. I use the chartreuse blade with chartreuse tail. It's the best bass & craippie lure ever. I use the orange blade & tail on clear days. I use Mepps to find bass & craippie fast, then I go to worms. Keep up the great work Mepps Company. |

| This lure is awesome. I was slaying bass with this. I caught a 15.5 incher and a 14 incher with around 10 minutes in between each other. It was the fluorescent orange with Black in a size 3 blade. These were the first two considerable fish I've ever caught on an artificial lure. I'm 13 and I beg my dad to take me fishing every weekend in the summer. Thanks, Mepps! |

| HAVE USED THE BLACK FURY FOR MANY YEARS, GREAT LURE, HARDLY LETS ME DOWN. PICKEREL LOVE IT BURNED. ALTHOUGH I REALLY LIKE THIS LURE, IT IS NOT MY ALL TIME FISH CATCHER, THAT LURE WOULD BE THE ACME KASTMASTER. I USE ALL SILVER TYPE THE MOST, COME IN GOLD, & OTHER COLORS. BUT MEPPS SPINNERS ARE A GREAT LURE. MANY A TRIP HAS BEEN SAVED BY THEM. A GREAT LURE THAT I WOULD TELL EVERY FISHERMAN TO BUY AND USE. JEFF COSTIGAN. |

| Well, thanks to the great product that Mepps produce. I have managed to win the Ulverstone Angling Club trophy for the fifth year in a row. I caught a total of 871 Brown & Rainbow trout for the season of which only 10 per cent were kept.The Black Fury in the various colours caught 80 percent of the fish and the rest were taken on Aglia,Comet & Thunder Bug spinners of different colours also. If it wasn't for this great product, I don't think I would have had the success that I have had. Thanks again, Mepps, for producing such a great variety of fishing lures. |

| The first time I used a Black Fury Dressed treble, I caught a Largemouth Bass. There have been days when this is the only lure that has produced. A #3 Flourescent Orange and #4 Yellow have been equally successful. To my surprise, I landed an 11 inch, 1+ pound Black Crappie using a #4 Yellow Black Fury. I had no clue that such large Crappie were in this pond. |

| I am 13 years old, and I was fishing with my uncle and dad in Wisconsin. For almost the whole trip, I was fishing the Mepps Black Fury Killer Combo number 4. I was catching a lot of small nothern pike. Then, I cast and hooked into a once in a life time musky. It was 46 inches long. I am glad that I was using the Black Fury and will be telling my friends about my catch and lure that made it happen. Awesome! |

| Tried this out in a shallow part by the rapids in the Potomac River, and it worked great! First, I caught a 16 inch smallmouth followed by a smallmouth of about 3-4 inches, and then finally to my great surprise a 22 inch catfish! This was using the size 1 Black Fury with the Chartreuse Dots and Yellow Dots/Yellow Dressed treble. |

| The #5 Black Fury in black/chartreuse and black/fluorescent orange absolutely slayed the pike while we were camping. Pike didn't just hit the lure, they crushed it with wreckless abandon. My number one pike lure by far. I wish you had more colors because I've bought them all. |

Well the 2010-11 season has finally come to an end here in Tasmania, and with above average rainfall that we had over the last 9 months it was reasonably good.The Mepps Black Fury in all colours worked great every time I used them as did the Aglia, Thunder Bug & Comet Spinners.We had some major floods in Jan.- Feb.and this helped to clean the rivers of a lot of debri that had built up in most systems.This created some new weed growth and left quite a few logs in most rivers as well giving the fish a bit of cover.Most of the rivers had well conditioned Browns & Rainbows and the Mepps Spinners caught a
total of 819 Brown Trout & 52 Rainbow Trout for the season. So as you can see why Mepps are the N0.1 Lure in the World and I
will continue to use this great product every season when fishing these beautiful rivers here in Tasmania,thank you Mepps. |

| Well once again the Mepps Black Fury has been a real trout taker. Fishing the Wilmot River here in Nthn.Tasmania in overcast & humid conditions and using a #00 Gold Black Fury I had 41 hookups and landed 35 good conditioned Brown trout and did not have to change my spinner,just made sure to keep the treble hooks sharp.All fish were released as well to be caught another day. Mepps really are the greatest. |

| Every year I catch channel catfish on various Mepps spinners. Catfish bait fisherman can't believe it. One day I got to Atchison SFL early. There was a guy sitting on a picnic table, had been camping. I walked up and caught a nice 5lb channel on my first cast. He walked over to some other campers and said "did you see that guy catch a catfish on his first catch? I've been fishing all night without even a nibble." You never know what fish will hit a Mepps. |

I have been using Mepps 00 & 0 Black Fury,Comets,Aglia & Thunder Bug
spinners here in Tasmania for many years and they would have to
be the most productive lure around. Last season 2009/10 I caught
over 1260 Brown & Rainbow Trout on them,and these are the only
lures I use.Thank you Mepps for producing such a great fish taker and helping me to be Ulverstone Angling Club Champion for
the past 4 years. |

| On Sunday July 18th, 2010, at Approximately 3:22 PM, I caught a 3 1/2 pound smallmouth bass on a Mepps Black Fury plain treble, a yellow dot with black blade. I was using a medium retrieve. I was fishing the river in about 4-6 feet of water, in shade, where the still water meets the current, and the smallmouth bass was hiding under a brush pile 10 feet to the right of where I was throwing the bait. The strike took me completely by surprise. The smallmouth hit it so hard he almost ripped the rod out of my hand. While fighting with him, he was so aggressive that he was actually shaking the reel as I was trying to pull him in, all the while jumping 2 feet out of the water. Yet another super aggressive strike on a fantastic bait!!! There will be a picture to follow this testimonial soon. Thanks Mepps. Keep up the good work!!!!! |

| This lure is, and was my secret weapon until I left it mistakenly on the shore. I, like the others, cannot find them anywhere. I ask at every small time bait shop, large stores such as Cabelas and Bass Pro Shops, and no one has a clue what lure I'm describing. Guess it's a good thing if no one knows about them.... it'll be my secret lol. On the Mepps site is the only place I know where to get them. |

| Found this lure on sale when I was shopping one day. Picked it up, tried and it WOW. Got my first hit for the year on the 2nd cast. I caught a total of twelve bass on it in one evening. Went out to the same lake again, caught another five... and then I lost the lure in a tree. I then cycled through my other brand name lures and didn't catch another fish for the evening. I'm definitely going back to pick up more of these lures. |

| I've been bass fishing for 35 years, I caught my first 9 1/2 lb bass on a Fluorescent Orange Mepps Black Fury . Chartreuse Mepps Black Fury #3 is my best friend. When I don't want to search a long time for bass, I'll use the Black Fury, with the first 2 cast if I don't get any hits I'll move. Normally within 2 cast the fish are there. I've caught 2 to 3 lb crappie easy. This is the BEST lure made , next to the plastic worm . lol |

| One Saturday morning my brother went out on the boat fishing with his bud. He sent me a picture a couple of hours later of a 2 and 1/2 foot pickerel his friend caught. I was stunned and was asking him what he was using. He said he was using a Mepps spinner size 3 Black Fury. My brother bought some of his own and let me try one. Within 2 casts I had landed a largemouth and another shortly after. I was sold, being as I've never had much success on lures at all before. We've caught tons of fish ever since and I doubt I'll put anything else on the line! Thanks Mepps! |
