Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Cotton Tail, 1/8oz nickel/chartreuse spinning lure #18357

Stamped clearly into the nickel-finished blade, the "COTTON TAIL 2" branding identifies this classic inline spinner from Cotton Cordell. A vibrant chartreuse-painted body with a black honeycomb scale pattern sits between the blade assembly and the tail. Weighing 1/8 oz (3.4 g) and measuring 2 inches (5 cm) in length, this 18357 model is built on a sturdy wire frame with a safety-pin style line tie. The tail is adorned with a dressed treble hook featuring yellow feathers secured by red thread, providing a distinct silhouette. All components are in top shape, earning a 5/5 condition rating for their cleanliness and integrity. The contrast between the bright yellow feathers and the polished nickel blade remains sharp and well-preserved.
