Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell CC Spoon Jig Lure, 1/2oz Hammered Nickel fishing spoon #10456

Hammered nickel plating defines the surface of this classic jigging tool, offering a textured finish that reflects light from multiple angles. Weighing 1/2oz (14g) and measuring 1 3/4" (4.5cm) in length, the lure is a prime example of American craftsmanship from Cotton Cordell. The metal body features a distinct "COTTON CORDELL CC SPOON" stamp near the lower split ring, while the upper section displays the brand's signature logo embossed into the tapered head. Identified by Product Code 10456, this specimen is designed for vertical jigging or distance casting, utilizing a heavy-gauge treble hook attached via a robust split ring. The condition is rated as 5/5, exhibiting a remarkably clean and bright exterior with well-defined dimples throughout the hammered finish. A line tie hole is precisely drilled at the narrow end, ensuring secure rigging for deep-water applications. This CC Spoon reflects the utilitarian design philosophy that Cotton Cordell established in the USA for targeting species like walleye and white bass.
