Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Comet 5 Dressed, 1/2oz White / Red / Brass spinning lure #2567

Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (13 g), this Mepps Comet 5 Dressed features a distinctive white blade face adorned with nine bold red dots. Collectors will immediately notice the rare construction of this specific specimen—a design that allows for a replaceable hook, which is a departure from many standard spinners. Measuring 4" (10 cm) in total length, the lure is built around a solid brass body composed of stacked, grooved beads with red highlights in the recesses. The blade is clearly stamped with "MEPPS 5 COMET" in red lettering, signifying its French-made components assembled in the USA. A rich brown feathered tail is dressed onto the hook, providing a soft contrast to the brass and painted metal parts. This item, assigned product code 2567, shows no signs of wear on its hardware or finish, earning a condition rating of 5/5. The top wire eyelet remains straight and the clasp for the interchangeable hook is fully functional.
