Weighing in at a nimble 1/8 oz (4 g), this vintage American-made crankbait represents a pivotal chapter in tackle history. The silver chrome finish on this 1 1/2" (4 cm) Cotton Cordell Big O (Product Code: 7818) remains exceptionally reflective, accented by a distinct black spot and a splash of pinkish-red near the throat. As a floating model, it is designed to reach depths of up to 3 ft (0.9 m) when casting for species like perch, pike, or asp. The hardware, including the treble hooks and split rings, is well-preserved, reflecting the 5/5 condition rating of this specific unit. Originally manufactured in the USA, the Big O's bulbous body shape and short lip are hallmarks of its design, optimized for shallow-water presentations. Every detail of the paint, from the red-rimmed eye to the smooth transitions in the silver plating, highlights the quality expected by collectors.
