Museum Archive: Mepps Comet 0 Combo Killer (1980s), 1/8oz Silver spinning lure #17863

A classic silver spinner blade serves as the centerpiece of this 1980s-era collaboration between two tackle giants. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.5 g), this Mepps Comet 0 Combo Killer, identified by product code 17863, features a bright silver finish on the blade designed for maximum visibility. The lure is rigged with an original cream-colored Mister Twister curly tail, utilizing a specialized keeper hook system for quick replacements. The vintage red and yellow carding includes detailed "easy tail changes" instructions and references the Sheldons', Inc. headquarters in Antigo, Wisconsin. This specimen remains unused, preserved in its original factory-sealed blister pack. The soft plastic component retains its original form, and the metal hardware shows the clarity expected of a lure that has never seen water. All markings on the blade are crisp, reflecting the high manufacturing standards of the USA-made Mepps line during this period.
