Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Big O, 1/8oz G Finish fishing lure #9957

G Finish coloration provides a subtle metallic luster to this compact crankbait, mirroring the classic aesthetic that Cotton Cordell is known for. Weighing 1/8 oz (4 g), the Cotton Cordell Big O (Product Code 9957) is a versatile tool for precision casting, specifically aimed at species like perch, pike, and asp. A depth of up to 3ft (0.9 m) is the operating range for this floating lure, managed by a smoke-colored diving lip. Across its 1 1/2" (4 cm) frame, the body displays a well-preserved paint job featuring a bold black spot and a striking red crescent behind the eye. This specific specimen rates a 5/5 for condition, with the original hardware remaining bright. The red-rimmed eye and matching throat accent are exceptionally crisp, highlighting the vintage quality of this USA-made lure.
