Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell CRAZY SHAD, 1/3oz Silver fishing lure #4459

Shimmering in a classic Silver finish, the chrome-like body of this surface propbait is a standout piece for any collector's display. Weighing 1/3 oz (9 g), this 2 3/4" (7 cm) Cotton Cordell specimen, product code 4459, features a distinctive red-accented chin and striking orange-rimmed eyes. The dual-propeller design is a hallmark of the Crazy Shad, with blades at both the nose and tail intended to create surface disturbance when casting for perch or pike. This particular lure remains in top-tier condition, rated 5/5, showing a pristine reflective surface and very clean hardware. It is designed to work in the upper water column down to a depth of approximately 6.5 ft (2 m). Crafted in the USA, the lure is equipped with two bronzed treble hooks, securely attached with robust split rings. The "CRAZY SHAD" stamp is clearly visible along the underside, confirming its vintage lineage and authenticity.
