Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell CC Shad Deep, chartreuse fishing lure #23169

Vibrant chartreuse transitions into a deep blue back on this 2 3/4" (7 cm) shad-profile crankbait. Identified by product code 23169, this Cotton Cordell CC Shad Deep is a floating model specifically engineered for reaching depths where perch and pike perch reside. When casting, you can expect the lure to reach between 6ft and 8ft (1.8 m – 2.4 m), while trolling allows it to dive as deep as 20ft (6 m). The construction includes an internal rattle system, categorizing it as a noise-type lure that provides acoustic presence. This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, showing off its original factory finish and sharp treble hooks. The clear, elongated diving lip is firmly set for both casting and trolling applications, complemented by a distinct red eye and subtle red throat accents.
