Measuring a substantial 4 1/4" (11 cm), this assembly pairs a classic spinner blade with a lifelike soft plastic minnow to target predatory species. The 1/3 oz (9 g) weight provides enough mass for accurate casting, while the nickel-finished Comet blade carries the traditional 'Made in France' stamp, reflecting the French-made components assembled in the USA. A distinct brass body with red paint tucked into its grooves sits ahead of the minnow, adding a touch of localized color contrast. This specific specimen, identified by product code 1086, features two sharp treble hooks rigged through the grey and pinkish soft body to secure strikes. Rated at 4/5, the lure shows very clean metalwork and a well-preserved soft trailer that hasn't hardened over time.
