Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell CC Spoon , 1/2oz Hammered Silver fishing spoon #5079

Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), this compact vertical jigging tool features a distinctive hammered silver finish designed to reflect light deep in the water column. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm) in length, the Cotton Cordell CC Spoon, cataloged under product code 5079, represents a classic era of USA-made tackle production. The dimpled surface texture is a functional design choice for vertical presentation, catching light from various angles. This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, showing extremely well-preserved hardware including the original treble hook and heavy-duty split ring. Near the line tie, the recognizable circular stamp confirms its lineage within the Cotton Cordell family. The dense lead-alloy construction is intended for a rapid descent, allowing the angler to reach deep structure or schooling fish quickly.
