Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Big O, 1/4oz Pearl fishing lure #23152

Measuring 1/4 oz (7 g), this compact crankbait features the iconic short-bodied profile that defined the original square-bill movement. The 2" (5 cm) Pearl-colored body is accented by a simple yet effective black shoulder spot and an orange-rimmed eye, characteristic of early Cotton Cordell production. Beneath the off-white finish, an internal rattle provides acoustic presence, categorized as a 'noise' lure for targeting species such as asp, perch, or pike. The manufacturer's name, 'Cordell', is embossed directly into the side of the lure, affirming its USA origins. Floating by design and bearing product code 23152, it reaches depths of 2-4 ft (0.6 – 1.2 m) whether utilized for casting or trolling. Hardware includes two sets of treble hooks that remain in excellent shape, contributing to an overall condition rating of 5/5.
