Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Comet 5 Dressed, 1/2oz spinning lure #2566

Stamped clearly into the brass-colored blade are the words 'MADE IN FRANCE' and 'MEPPS 5 COMET,' marking its origins and model identification. Weighing in at 1/2oz (13g) with a total length of 4" (10cm), this spinner uses a gold-toned body with deep red painted accents between the ribs. A stand-out technical feature of Product Code 2566 is the rare construction that incorporates a changeable hook system, allowing for quick swaps behind the vibrant yellow feathered tail. The hardware remains in excellent shape, earning a condition rating of 5/5. While the primary components were manufactured in France, the assembly was completed in the USA, resulting in a robust feathered lure designed for varied casting applications.
