Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Deep Minnow UV, 1/4oz Chartreuse fishing lure #12459

Glowing with a distinct ultraviolet luminescence, this specimen features a vibrant Chartreuse finish that transitions from a scaled green back to a bright yellow belly. Weighing 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the Cotton Cordell Deep Minnow UV is engineered for depth, capable of reaching 12ft (3.6m). Its construction includes an internal rattle system to provide an audible signal, while the floating buoyancy allows for controlled retrieves. The exterior displays a classic honeycomb scale pattern and a prominent black dot near the tail, all mounted with original treble hardware. Cataloged under product code 12459, the lure is in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint and a clear, sturdy diving lip.
