Weighing in at a substantial 2/3 oz (19 g), this sinking lipless crankbait is designed for reaching deep structures where predators often hide. The Fire Tiger pattern on this 4 1/4" (11 cm) Cotton Cordell Ratt'l Spot Minnow UV, product code 16092, utilizes a high-visibility palette of neon green and yellow with a bright orange belly. Its most notable feature is the UV-active finish, which produces a distinct glow in dark or murky water, a technology Cotton Cordell integrated to help anglers target Zander, Pike, and Salmon more effectively at variable depths. Manufactured in the USA, the lure remains in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with its original finish and hardware appearing crisp and clean. The heavy internal rattle provides an audible element for fish to track during a steady retrieve or while trolling. Two stout treble hooks are attached via strong split rings, ensuring the lure is ready for heavy-hitting species like Asp or large Trout.
