Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Cott3on Cordell Deep Minnow , 1/4oz Light Blue / Silver fishing lure #13368

Light blue on the dorsal surface flows into a textured silver scale pattern, marking this Cotton Cordell Deep Minnow as a classic piece of American tackle history. Identified by product code 13368, the lure weighs 1/4 oz (7 g) and measures 2 1/4" (6 cm), serving as a versatile tool for reaching specific strike zones. The oversized clear plastic lip is engineered to take the bait down to 11.8 ft (3.6 m), while its floating buoyancy helps it back out of snags. This specimen maintains a 5/5 condition rating, showing a clean finish and original hardware. A distinct red gill stripe sits just behind the dark, focused eyes, while internal rattles ensure an auditory presence in deeper water columns.
