Vintage Mepps Comet Mino 1 (1970s), 3/16oz silver spinning lure #23634

A silver-stamped blade marked with French and British patent details highlights the European origins of this Mepps Comet Mino 1, cataloged under product code 23634. Weighing 3/16oz (4.5g), the lure pairs a traditional spinner with a translucent soft plastic minnow body designed to follow the blade. The hardware includes brass-toned beads and a stacked, ribbed weight section that provides the necessary ballast for casting. In its 4/5 condition, the specimen is remarkably clean, showing only light signs of its 1970s vintage. While the components were manufactured in France, this particular model was assembled in the USA. The silver finish on the blade remains bright, and the hooks are correctly seated through the supple body material.
