A weight of 1/8 oz (4.3 g) makes this specific Mepps Comet 2, product code 4724, a classic choice for ultra-light and light spinning setups. The oval black blade is clearly stamped with traditional French markings, including "Mepps Comet" and "Brevete France," highlighting the origin of its components before assembly in the USA. Its core structure consists of a segmented brass body and a vibrant orange bead placed near the base to act as a strike indicator. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) from tip to hook, the spinner retains its original hardware. The treble hook and metal wire show light age-related wear, though the lure remains in solid 4/5 condition. The black finish on the blade remains well-preserved, showcasing the manufacturing standards Mepps is known for.
