Mepps Comet Long Tail 1/4 oz. Lure

Mepps Comet Long Tail 1/4 oz. Lure

The Mepps Comet Long Tail addresses what anglers have long wanted from a spinner: a fuller, more lifelike dressed hook without sacrificing the mechanics that make the Comet work. The medium-running blade generates a wide, thumping vibration at moderate to fast retrieves, while the bushy bucktail camouflages the treble and adds natural, breathing action in the water. At 1/4 oz., this Mepps Comet Long Tail 1/4 oz. Lure covers mid-depth structure effectively a practical choice when targeting pike and walleye along weeded points, river mouths, or rocky shorelines throughout Quebec's season. One of its most useful design details is the detachable hook integrated into the body mechanics, allowing hook swaps in the field without tools. The orange blade paired with the orange bucktail tail delivers a warm-spectrum flash that performs in stained or tannic water typical of many Quebec lakes and rivers.

Key Features

Bushy Bucktail Dressed Treble: Adds pulsating, breathing action that increases the hook's visual profile and keeps fish holding longer on the strike.
Detachable Hook System: Hook is integrated into the body mechanics and can be swapped without modifying the lure, giving anglers the flexibility to change styles on the water.
Medium Running Depth Blade: Produces consistent vibration and flash at a range of retrieve speeds, keeping the lure in the strike zone across varied depths.
Matched Blade and Tail Colors: Blade colour is paired to the tail dressing by design, though blades and tails can also be mixed for contrast and experimentation.

Why Choose This Product?

When fish are tracking but not committing, the extra bulk and movement of the bucktail on the Mepps Comet Long Tail often closes the deal. The 1/4 oz. weight handles well on medium spinning tackle, making it a versatile option whether you're casting the shallow flats of a Quebec reservoir or working current seams in a river. The detachable hook design is a practical advantage — switch to a plain treble when bucktail isn't producing, or try a different tail colour without carrying a second lure.
