Weighing exactly 3/16 oz (4.5 g), this vintage spinner belongs to the classic Comet Mino series, easily recognized by its silver blade and articulated minnow-style body. Labeled with product code 12893, this specimen remains in its original carded packaging and is unused, making it a clean addition for any Mepps enthusiast. The 3 1/4" (8 cm) profile consists of a #1 size French-made blade paired with a slender, airbrushed body designed for quick hook swaps. Looking closely at the blade, you will see the distinct "Made in France" stamping that has been a hallmark of Mepps since the brand's early days. The packaging indicates this specific unit was assembled in the USA, blending European components with American craftsmanship. The silver finish on the blade provides a high-contrast flash against the natural-toned minnow body.
This specific lure has found its new home. However, we have selected some excellent alternatives for you below.
