A matte black blade finish defines this specific Mepps Comet 1 specimen, offering a stealthy contrast to the brass-toned hardware. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure features a distinctive ribbed brass body and a vibrant red translucent bead positioned just above the gold-plated treble hook. The hardware remains bright and well-preserved, indicative of its 5/5 condition rating. On the reverse side of the blade, the "MADE IN FRANCE" and "MEPPS COMET 1" stamps are crisply visible, confirming the origin of the components prior to their assembly in the USA. This particular model, cataloged under product code 15957, carries a weight of 1/8 oz (3.5 g), making it a staple for light tackle enthusiasts. The wire shaft remains straight, and the spinner assembly sits securely against the brass spacers.
