Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Big O, 1/4oz fishing lure #18485

Adorned in a classic brown-and-tan crawfish pattern with distinct vertical stripes, this 1/4oz (7g) crankbait is a staple of American tackle history. Measuring exactly 2" (5cm), the lure features a prominent black "kill dot" near the head and a vibrant peach-toned belly that transitions seamlessly into the integral diving lip. Carrying product code 18485, the specimen is in 5/5 condition, with its original hardware and paint finish appearing exceptionally crisp. This floating, noise-making model is weighted to reach depths between 2-4 ft (0.6 – 1.2 m), serving as a reliable option for both casting and trolling when targeting pike, perch, or asp. The yellow eyes with black pupils provide a focal point against the darker upper body, while the internal rattles offer an auditory element during the retrieve. Produced in the USA, the body displays a textured, ribbed surface along its sides, adding a tactile dimension to the legendary Big O silhouette.
