Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Comet 3 Combo Killer (replaceable hook), 1/3oz Brass spinning lure #14735

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (8.5 g), this vintage Mepps assembly features a classic brass finish across its primary components. Stamped with "MEPPS COMET 3" and "MADE IN FRANCE," the blade reflects the brand's European origins, while the final assembly of Product Code 14735 took place in the USA. The "Combo Killer" design is defined by its replaceable hook system, which currently hosts a textured white curly tail soft plastic trailer. Total length of the lure reaches 3 1/4" (8 cm). A weighted body with recessed red grooves provides the necessary mass for casting while adding a touch of color contrast. This specimen is in top-tier condition, rated at 5/5, showing a clean, bright metal surface and intact hardware. The wire leader is capped with a secure twist, ready for connection to a swivel or direct line.
