Vintage Mepps Comet 3 Mino, 1/3oz silver spinning lure #23428

Assembled in the USA using precision-engineered components from France, the hardware on this piece showcases the classic partnership between Mepps and American tackle distribution. Weighing in at 1/3oz (9g) with a total length of 4 1/4" (11cm), the silver finish on the blade is stamped clearly with 'MEPPS 3 COMET' and 'MADE IN FRANCE'. The Mepps Comet 3 Mino, cataloged under product code 23428, features a lifelike soft plastic minnow body attached to the spinning shaft, designed primarily for casting. Brass-colored body segments and ribbed spacers lead down to a specialized hook configuration that includes both a belly hook and a rear treble. In its current 5/5 condition, the silver plating on the blade remains bright and the soft body is remarkably well-preserved, reflecting the brand's long-standing reputation for modular lures that combine a spinner's flash with a realistic baitfish profile.
