Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Comet 4 Mino, 1/3oz Nickel spinning lure #0226

Stamped clearly into the polished metal surface, the "MADE IN FRANCE" mark on this size 4 blade confirms its authentic European origins. Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), this Mepps Comet 4 Mino is built on a sturdy wire frame that supports a Nickel-finished blade and a ribbed brass body with red-painted grooves. The total length measures 4" (10 cm), terminating in a smoke-colored curly tail soft plastic trailer infused with silver glitter flakes. Identified by product code 0226, this particular specimen maintains a 5/5 condition rating, appearing remarkably well-preserved with bright hardware and a supple tail component. The Comet design is specifically engineered for a mid-angle blade rotation, allowing for versatile retrieval speeds. Every part of the lure, from the clevis to the hook attachment, remains original and clean.
