Museum Archive: Cotton Cordell 3.5 Minnow RLM510, 1/4oz Rainbow Gold / Brown fishing lure #14461

Rainbow Gold and brown hues blend across the sides of this 3 1/2" (9 cm) Cotton Cordell 3.5 Minnow RLM510, providing a natural flash that collectors and anglers alike appreciate. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), this floating minnow is engineered for depths up to 4 ft (1.2 m), making it a versatile choice for both casting and trolling in varied environments. Identified by product code 14461, this specimen is unused and carries a condition rating of 6. The lure’s construction includes a clear, rounded diving lip and robust hardware, typical of Cotton Cordell's American-made tackle from the USA. It is specifically recommended for a wide range of species, including trout, salmon, perch, and pike. The scale pattern on the flanks adds a layer of visual texture beneath the smooth top-coat, while the dark brown back provides a sharp silhouette against the lighter underbelly.
