Museum Archive: Cotton Cordell Bait Bonanza, 1/3oz fishing lure #19908

Sporting a classic green-and-white bass finish with intricate scale detailing, this specimen from Cotton Cordell remains in unused condition. Rated as a 6, the Bait Bonanza (Product Code 19908) measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and carries a weight of 1/3 oz (9 g). This lipless rattling lure features a sinking design, allowing for a variable working depth depending on whether you are casting for perch and pike or trolling for walleye and trout. The paint job includes a prominent red eye and a subtle salmon-toned hue along the front leading edge, providing a sharp contrast against the clean silver-white belly. Original bronze treble hooks are mounted via sturdy split rings to the belly and tail points. Manufactured in the USA, this particular piece highlights the straightforward, effective design profile synonymous with the brand's mid-century legacy.
