Measuring 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, this French-made assembly pairs a classic spinner blade with a realistic soft plastic trailer. The gold-colored blade features the 'Mepps Comet' stamp alongside the original French and British patent details, reflecting the mid-century manufacturing standards of the 1960s. At a weight of 3/16oz (6g), the lure utilizes a stack of brass beads and a cylinder for the main body weight, followed by a secure snap connector for the minnow. The trailer itself is a translucent silver soft plastic, internally rigged so that the hooks emerge from the ventral and tail sections. Identified by product code 5898, the specimen is in 5/5 condition. The gold finish on the metal remains vibrant, and the soft body is remarkably well-preserved, maintaining its flexibility without any visible cracking or degradation.
