Museum Archive: Vintage Mepps Comet Mino 3, 1/3oz Silver spinning lure #6606

Stamped clearly into the silver-plated blade are the marks indicating its French-manufactured components, though this specific specimen was assembled in the USA. Weighing 1/3oz (9g) and measuring 4 1/4" (11cm) in total length, this Mepps Comet Mino 3 (product code 6606) represents a classic hybrid design that pairs a traditional rotating blade with a realistic soft bait body. The silver finish remains bright and displays no signs of significant wear, earning a clean 5/5 condition rating. Below the spinning blade, the lure body consists of stacked brass beads accented with deep red rings, leading to the flexible minnow imitation. This setup includes two sharp treble hooks, with one belly-mounted and another at the tail, illustrating the thorough hardware configuration typical of the Mepps brand.
