Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps 5 Comet Mino, 2/3oz Brass spinning lure #3586

Weighted at 2/3 oz (18g), a size 5 brass blade leads the way for this 4 3/4 inch (12 cm) hybrid spinner. The blade on this Mepps 5 Comet Mino is stamped with 'MADE IN FRANCE' and 'MEPPS 5 COMET', highlighting the quality of the imported components assembled in the USA. Behind the rotating blade, a textured metal coil provides the ballast needed for casting into deep structure. The lure features a realistic soft plastic minnow body, finished with silver scales and a dark back to mimic natural forage. Identified by product code 3586, the specimen is in 4/5 condition, maintaining a very clean look across all its hardware and the tail-mounted treble hook. This combination of French metalwork and American assembly makes for a versatile addition to any vintage tackle collection.
