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.

| 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 have not been shut out using this lure. I have had two of these lures one black tail with yellow dots and one black tail with the different tinted green dots(Hot Firetiger) and both have been quite successful in landing nice size fish. |

| 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! |

| I went fishing late (around 6:30) nobody was catching anything. then I brought along my only lure. After a couple minutes of searching for a good spot, I casted out and this 1lb average rock (warmouth) bass was caught. Good for every thing!! |

| Fish Caught: | Bass, Largemouth - Crappie (Black) - Pickerel |

| I just started using the Mepps Black Fury about a month ago and was really skeptical about spinners in general. Well after 5 hours on a boat with my friend, we caught roughly 30 pickerel and several 2-3 lb largemouth. My friend also caught a 5 lb pickerel about 28" in length. If you cast the Black Fury and reel it as soon as it hits the water it drives fish nuts, even if they are on the bottom hiding. I usually use a number 3 with yellow dots and tail but have also found good luck on the chartreuse and white colors. If the fish aren't biting anything else, give a Mepps Black Fury a try. |

| The Standard Mepps Black Fury: Size #2 in traditional dress with yellow, brown, and red colored tail is the only lure I have ever fished, that I can remember as a little boy fishing where I caught 4 bass between 1 and 2 pounds apiece on every single cast from the first to the fourth and on the 5th I either hooked, snagged a large fish because the lure broke off: that's the best experience I ever had with an artificial lure period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Hi, I am only 15 years old, but, for the 9 years I have been fishing. I know I can always choose Mepps!
My favourite is my Black Fury size 1 and 2 in yellow and black.
The other day as I was trying one of my other spinners on my line that I could catch with, noting (I was using this as I forgot my spinning box and using one of my friends). I called my mom to drop up my Black Fury, second cast in i caught a three pound brown trout, my best catch of the season. |

| I have been fishing since I was 5 and have only caught Northern's in Lake Ontario and the Thousand Islands region where we had our family camp. I also usually only use nightcrawlers, but since it was early spring April 25th, and the weather was so nice this day we took the boat out just to see what we could do. After about half an hour they started biting and it didn't stop from there. From about noon 'til three it was non-stop catch-and-release. I caught three Northern's, 17, 21 and 23 inches. My fishing buddy was using a Mepp's red spinner and he caught three Northern's and a Pickerel. I love spring fishing anyways but because of this lure, it was great! We were using my father's Mepps, but after that day, I am going very soon to buy my own supply! Can't wait to do it again! |
