Museum Archive: Vintage Vintage Mepps Comet 1 Combo Killer (1970s), 3/16oz Brass spinning lure #6692

Brass-finished blade components, clearly stamped with French patent markings, distinguish this specimen from the 1970s era. Weighing 3/16oz (6g), the Mepps Comet 1 Combo Killer (product code 6692) features a versatile design that integrates a classic spinner with a soft bait body. This particular lure measures 5 1/2" (14cm) and showcases a deep blue rubber-like body paired with a brass blade assembly. The hardware includes the signature Mepps ribbed beads in a dark finish, positioned just below the clevis. Assembled in the USA using French-made components, the lure retains its functionality with a clever hook-mounting snap that allows for swaps. The condition of this vintage piece is a well-preserved 4/5, showing only light surface wear while maintaining the clarity of the lettering on the blade. The single hook remains sharp and is carefully rigged through the supple tail material.
