Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Comet Mino 00 , 1/16oz Silver spinning lure #4035

Silver reflects softly off the polished blade of this vintage spinner, which features components manufactured in France and assembled in the USA. Tipping the scales at a delicate 1/16oz (1.7g), this Mepps Comet Mino 00 is built on a 2 1/4" (6cm) frame designed for light-line casting. The assembly includes a classic red-ribbed brass weight and a soft plastic minnow body that conceals the hardware. Bearing the product code 4035, the specimen shows a condition of 4/5, displaying very light signs of use while remaining remarkably clean. A pre-attached swivel sits at the top of the wire loop, and the silver blade is stamped with the recognizable Mepps branding, pairing with the dark-backed minnow body to create a realistic baitfish profile.
