Museum Archive: Cotton Cordell CC Spoon , 2/5oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #5054

Hammered nickel finishes like the one on this pair of 1 1/2" (4 cm) metal bodies are highly prized for the way they catch and scatter light at various depths. These C.C. Spoons, identified by product code 5054, each weigh 2/5 oz (11 g) and are purpose-built for vertical jigging or casting when fish are holding deep. This specific specimen arrives in unused condition, still housed in its original vintage packaging from the Cotton Cordell facility in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The dimpled texture on the metal provides a distinct visual profile compared to smooth-sided lures, while the treble hooks remain clean and bright. According to the original instructions on the card, these sinking lures are most effective when allowed to fall to a specific depth before starting a slow jigging motion or a steady retrieve. The silver-toned finish across the textured surface is designed to mimic the flash of panicked baitfish in the water column.
