Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Comet Mino 1 - (replaceable hook), 3/16oz Gold spinning lure #7394

Stamped into the gold spinner blade is the "MADE IN FRANCE" text, signaling the European-made components used in this 3/16oz (4.5g) assembly. Identified by Product Code 7394, this specimen measures 3 1/4" (8cm) and utilizes the classic Comet blade paired with a soft, gold-toned minnow body. The central wire shaft is organized with a series of black ribbed beads and a single brass bead that separates the clevis from the lure head. A key feature of this specific model is the replaceable hook system, which is visible where the minnow body joins the spinner assembly. Both the soft plastic and the metal hardware are in excellent shape, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. The configuration includes two treble hooks positioned to catch strikes at the midsection and the rear.
