A weight of 1/8 oz (3.5 g) puts this size 1 spinner in the sweet spot for light-line trout and panfish applications. The white enameled blade face is decorated with clean red dots and bears the classic "Mepps 1 Comet" stamp, indicating its origin as a piece assembled in the USA using French-made components. This specimen features a natural squirrel tail dressing tied onto a treble hook, which is part of a clever detachable system that allows for quick changes between different hook styles or dressings. Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, the lure shows a brass-colored body with distinct red-painted grooves that remain vivid. Under product code 13513, this lure arrives in 5/5 condition, with the nickel-plated wire and white finish on the blade appearing remarkably preserved for a vintage item. The squirrel tail hair is full and secured with a neat red thread wrap at the eyelet.
