Orange and black stripes decorate the gold-finish blade of this vintage inline spinner. Cataloged as product code 19581, the Mepps Comet 3 Dressed weighs 1/4oz (7g) and measures 2 3/4" (7cm). Collectors will appreciate the "COMET MEPPS 3" stamping on the face of the blade, signifying a classic design where components made in France were assembled in the USA. A key technical feature of the Comet series is the detachable hook system, which in this instance holds a treble dressed with natural squirrel tail hair and a few strands of red fiber. The body assembly includes a tiered brass weight and a red-striped section that provides a visual contrast against the dark hair. In its current 5/5 condition, the lure remains unused, showing no signs of wear on the painted surfaces or the hardware. The wire shaft is straight, and the clevis allows the blade to sit in its traditional position above the weighted body.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
