Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell CC Spoon , 1/2oz Nickel fishing spoon #1271

Hammered nickel surfaces define the classic profile of this 1/2 oz (14 g) vertical jigging tool. Identified by product code 1271, this Cotton Cordell CC Spoon features a deep-dimpled texture on the face designed to catch and reflect light even in deep water columns. Measuring exactly 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the metal body bears the distinct "C Cotton Cordell" circular stamp near the top eyelet. The hardware on this USA-made specimen is robust, featuring a barrel swivel at the line tie to reduce line twist and a sharp treble hook attached via a split ring at the tail. This specific lure maintains a condition rating of 5/5, showing a clean, bright finish across its entire surface. These heavy-for-their-size lures are traditionally used for precision jigging over bottom structure or for long-distance casting into schooling fish.
