Museum Archive: Cotton Cordell Bait Bonanza, 1/3oz Red Crawdad fishing lure #20075

Vividly finished in the Red Crawdad pattern, this vintage lipless crankbait features intricate black line work mimicking a crustacean's anatomy across its profile. Tipping the scales at 1/3 oz (9 g), the Cotton Cordell Bait Bonanza, identified by product code 20075, is a versatile rattling lure designed for variable depth presentations through casting or trolling techniques. This specimen measures 2 1/4" (6 cm) and remains in unused condition, showcasing the original factory sheen of its USA-made construction. The hardware includes two sharp bronzed treble hooks, well-suited for targeting predators like zander, pike, and trout. Because it is a noise-producing lipless design, it is frequently used to cover water across the entire water column.
