Vivid orange paint with bold black stripes defines the blade of this size 2 spinner, a signature look for the Comet series. Hand-tied natural squirrel tail dressing adds a dense, organic profile to the treble hook, which is further detailed with a bright red thread accent. Assembled in the USA using components manufactured in France, this 3/16oz (4.5g) specimen showcases the precision-turned brass body segments characteristic of the Mepps brand. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the lure features an ingenious detachable hook system that facilitates easy swaps between different dressings. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the piece maintains its original factory luster across the stamped blade and metal hardware. This feathered-type lure, identified by product code 14253, remains a staple for collectors due to its unique color pattern and modular construction.
