Museum Archive: Cotton Cordell CC Shad, 1/8oz Carp fishing lure #11043

Carp-patterned scales decorate the flanks of this 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) crankbait, reflecting a classic naturalistic aesthetic from Cotton Cordell. The finish transitions from a dark, detailed back down to a clean white belly, highlighted by a subtle pink gill slash and a prominent dark spot behind the eye. This specimen, product code 11043, is equipped with a clear diving lip stamped with the model name, allowing it to reach depths of 6 ft (1.8 m) on a standard cast or up to 13 ft (4 m) when utilized for trolling. Internally, the floating body features a rattle system designed to provide auditory presence. Still housed in its original packaging, the lure is in unused condition. Made in the USA, the construction includes two belly-mounted treble hooks and a line tie integrated into the bill.
