Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Comet Mino 1, 3/16oz Silver spinning lure #6431

Silver-plated finishes and a 3/16oz (4.6g) weight characterize the construction of the Mepps Comet Mino 1, listed as product code 6431. The total length of 3 1/4" (8cm) includes a classic silver blade and a detailed soft plastic minnow trailer that follows a brass-toned weighted body. This weighted section is segmented with three visible red stripes, a traditional design choice providing visual contrast behind the blade. Labeled with a 5/5 condition rating, the metallic hardware remains bright and the plastic body is well-preserved. The blade is clearly stamped with the French origin of the components, reflecting the brand’s history of sourcing high-quality blades for their American-assembled lures. A single treble hook is positioned at the rear of the minnow, attached directly to the internal wire shaft for structural integrity. A slender baitfish silhouette is paired with the reflective silver blade in this specialized spinner configuration.
