Silver plating on the classic Mepps blade distinguishes this 1970s find, which is paired with a ribbed, curly-tail soft plastic trailer. Weighing in at 1/4oz (6.5g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the Mepps Combo Killer 2 (product code 5902) represents a pivot point in lure history where traditional inline spinners were integrated with soft-body plastics. This specimen was assembled in the USA utilizing high-quality components originally manufactured in France. The lure's brass weight stack and clevis show a gentle aging, earning it a condition rating of 4/5. Collectors will appreciate the replaceable hook system, a specific feature of this 70s model designed to allow anglers to swap out trailers or refresh the hardware. The white, semi-translucent soft plastic body remains well-preserved, rigged onto an offset hook intended to keep the point shielded within the lure's ribs for weedless operation.
