Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Comet 3, 1/4oz White / Black spinning lure #0718

A striking pattern of black dots on a clean white background defines the oval blade of this classic spinner. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) and weighing 1/4oz (6.5g), this Mepps Comet 3 features the recognizable "MEPPS 3 COMET" stamp on its gold-toned blade. The weighted body consists of a brass core accented with bright red recessed stripes, leading down to a sharp treble hook protected by a matching red plastic sleeve. Classified as condition 5/5, the lure shows excellent preservation across its metallic and painted surfaces. While the individual components were manufactured in France, this specific lure, identified by Product Code 0718, was assembled in the USA.
