Vintage Cotton Cordell Gay Blade, 2/5oz nickel fishing spoon #21390

Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), this classic American blade bait shows the rugged character collectors appreciate in Cotton Cordell's vintage line. The 2" (5 cm) nickel body features a distinct honeycomb scale pattern along its upper half, transitioning into a metallic lower section accented by a prominent black spot toward the rear. Rated at 4/5, the finish on this specimen displays a softened texture from age, while the oversized eye with its bright orange iris and black pupil remains remarkably vivid. A defining trait of the Gay Blade, product code 21390, is the integrated flat plane on the head designed to create additional underwater vibrations. You can adjust the resistance by utilizing the three attachment holes along the spine; securing your line closer to the head allows for a faster retrieve with less drag. This USA-made lure retains its original treble hooks and the heavy-duty construction typical of its era.
