Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Big O, 3/4oz fishing lure #19155

A weight of 3/4oz (21g) gives this 3" (7.5cm) crankbait the heft needed for long, accurate casts when targeting pike or large perch. The color pattern features a deep forest green back transitioning into vertical dark stripes over a yellow-scaled belly. This Cotton Cordell Big O, identified by product code 19155, is equipped with a translucent square lip that shows red accents at the tips. Engineered to reach depths between 3ft (0.9 m) and 8ft (2.4 m), it is a floating, noisy model designed for both casting and trolling techniques. Rated 4/5, the lure shows gentle evidence of previous fishing trips with small marks on the underside, though the original scale texture and hardware are well-preserved. The amber-hued eyes sit just above the yellow throat, completing a classic profile manufactured in the USA.
