Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Comet 2 Combo killer, 1/4oz Silver spinning lure #16210

Stamped clearly on the silver blade, the 'Mepps 2 Comet' marking identifies this hybrid lure as a versatile choice for a variety of freshwater species. At 1/4oz (6.5g) and measuring 3 1/2" (9cm), the Comet 2 Combo killer combines a traditional spinner with a soft plastic trailer. The assembly of this piece occurred in the USA using components made in France, reflecting the heritage of the Mepps brand and their global manufacturing history. A translucent orange curly-tail grub is rigged on a single hook, protected by a wire weed guard for fishing near heavy structure. The brass spacers and ribbed weight on the shaft are designed to provide stable casting performance. This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, with the silver finish remaining bright and the soft body staying flexible. Cataloged under product code 16210, this setup represents a classic multi-species presentation.
