Stamped with the number 1 and the Comet name, the silver blade on this assembly is a classic French-made component paired with a realistic soft-bodied minnow. Cataloged under product code 13127, this Mepps Comet Mino 1 weighs 3/16 oz (4.6 g) and is a foundational piece for light-tackle collectors. The silver-finished blade rotates on a sturdy wire frame leading to a weighted brass body accented with three distinct red grooves. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) from the front loop to the tail, the lure features a minnow with a dark, scaled back and a pale belly accented by a touch of red at the throat. These components, assembled in the USA using original French parts, are in beautiful shape, as evidenced by a 5/5 condition rating across the metal and the soft plastic. A single treble hook is integrated into the rear of the baitfish profile to maintain a streamlined silhouette.
