Museum Archive: Vintage Vintage Mepps Combo Killer 2 (1970s), 1/4oz Silver spinning lure #5903

Weighing in at 1/4oz (6.5g), the Mepps Combo Killer 2 is a distinct 1970s hybrid that joins a classic inline spinner with a soft plastic trailer. The lure measures 2 3/4" (7cm) and features a Silver blade, produced in France, which revolves on a wire shaft supported by a series of stacked brass beads. Under product code 5903, this specific model was assembled in the USA and includes a replaceable hook design, which is currently rigged with a black curly-tail grub filled with silver glitter flakes. In a solid 4/5 condition, the hardware remains clean and the silicone body is still quite supple. This configuration allows for the easy swapping of trailers to match various fishing conditions while maintaining the weighted profile of the brass body.
