Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Cordell Ratt'l Spot Minnow, 2/3oz fishing lure #3843

At 2/3oz (19g), the Cordell Ratt'l Spot Minnow is weighted for long-distance casting across open water. Dressed in a bright fluorescent green with a yellow-orange belly and bold black back markings, this USA-made specimen carries product code 3843. The 4 1/4" (11cm) profile is balanced for a sinking presentation, making it highly effective for targeting perch through casting and twitching methods. A prominent red eye stands out against the neon body, while the internal rattle mechanism provides a sonic element to the retrieve. Mounted with two silver treble hooks, the lure remains in 5/5 condition with no visible wear to the paint or hardware.
