Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Comet 4, 2/5oz Brass spinning lure #1121

Stamped 'British Patent' and 'Made in France,' the brass blade on this 2/5oz (11g) spinner provides a classic look for any vintage tackle collection. This Mepps Comet 4, product code 1121, features components manufactured in France and assembled in the USA. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5cm) in length, the lure is built around a central wire shaft housing three red beads decorated with yellow spots. A brass clevis holds the teardrop-shaped blade, while the rear treble hook is fitted with a signature red plastic sleeve. The painted surfaces and metal finish remain in excellent state, reflecting a condition rating of 5/5. The wire construction is straight, terminating in a clean eyelet for line attachment.
