Gold-toned plating covers the oval spinner blade, which is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's name and its French origin. Weighing 3/16 oz (4.5 g), this specimen represents the classic Mepps Comet Mino 1 design, cataloged as product code 6605. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, the lure pairs a traditional spinner assembly with a realistic soft bait minnow body. A series of red-painted rings on the brass weight provides a sharp visual break against the metallic components. While the individual parts were manufactured in France, the final assembly of this piece was completed in the USA. The rig utilizes two sets of treble hooks, one fixed near the midsection and a second at the rear. It remains in 4/5 condition, exhibiting a clean, intact soft body and clear text on the gold-finished blade.
