Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell C.C. Shad, 1/3oz Silver fishing lure #10483

Tipping the scales at 1/3 oz (9 g), this USA-made shad profile lure remains a staple for anglers targeting zander and perch. The Cotton Cordell C.C. Shad, cataloged under Product Code 10483, features a 2 3/4" (7 cm) body wrapped in a traditional silver scale finish with a distinctive black back, shad spot, and red eye. Designed as a floating model, it utilizes a long, clear diving lip to achieve depths of 6 ft (1.8 m) on the cast and can get down as deep as 20 ft (6 m) when trolled. This specific specimen is in 4/5 condition, retaining its metallic luster and solid hardware. Inside the body, a rattle system provides acoustic presence during the retrieve. Two sharp treble hooks are attached via sturdy split rings, ready for casting or deep-water trolling techniques.
