Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Deep Diver G-Finish, 1/4oz G Finish fishing lure #10441

Coated in a pearlescent G Finish, the 2 1/2" (6.3 cm) profile of this classic Cotton Cordell lure reflects a soft, metallic sheen designed to mimic natural forage. This 1/4 oz (7 g) floating crankbait, identified by product code 10441, is equipped with a sizable clear diving lip intended to hit depths of 6-8 ft (1.8 - 2.5 m) while casting, or up to 13 ft (4 m) on a troll. The G-Finish technology was a notable innovation from the USA-based manufacturer, providing a distinct iridescent depth to the lure's appearance. It remains in 5/5 condition, featuring original bronze-toned treble hooks and a built-in rattle to provide acoustic presence when targeting species like perch, pike, and walleye. Large, amber-tinted eyes provide a high-contrast focal point near the front of the lure.
