Quick take
A 1/9 oz inline spinner with erratic swimming action from a silver blade and finish, sized for trout and panfish on light line.
The Mepps Comet Mino in the 1/9 oz size is a small silver spinner for anglers who want a light bait that flashes and pulses on the retrieve. A polished blade turns ahead of a minnow-shaped body airbrushed to resemble a small baitfish. It runs at mid-depth, so it suits bass in open water, and changing the retrieve speed alters how it moves.
Best for
- Creeks and small streams for trout
- Panfish and bluegill in ponds
- Ultralight tackle setups
Skip if
- You fish heavy cover; small spinners get wrapped quickly
- You need to cast far; 1/9 oz is light in wind
Strengths
- At 1/9 oz it works on light line and ultralight rods
- Mepps blade profile vibrates on the slowest retrieve
- Silver finish has proven appeal to trout
Trade-offs
- 1/9 oz is hard to feel on the line
- Light weight limits casting distance in wind
- Blade twist can shorten line life on spinners

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
