Assembled in the USA from components manufactured in France, the construction of this Mepps Comet Mino 1 highlights a classic era of cross-continental tackle production. A silver-colored blade serves as the attractor, clearly stamped with the Mepps Comet branding and French origin. This specific model, bearing product code 5736, weighs 3/16oz (4.6g) and reaches a total length of 3 1/4" (8cm). The central assembly features a tiered brass weight with visible red paint remaining in the recessed grooves. Behind the spinning component, a soft plastic minnow body is rigged with two sharp single hooks, one emerging from the belly and another at the tail. The minnow itself retains its naturalistic brown and tan tones, finished with a bright yellow eye. In a condition rated 4/5, the lure shows very little sign of age, with the metal components maintaining a bright appearance and the soft body remaining pliable.
