Vintage Cotton Cordell Gay Blade, 3/4oz fishing spoon #22078

A coarse, sand-like textured finish covers the metallic body of this Cotton Cordell Gay Blade, providing a tactile surface that catches light differently than standard plated lures. This specimen, identified by product code 22078, comes in at a heavy 3/4oz (21g), making it a solid choice for reaching deeper structures. The flat forehead design is a functional characteristic built to create vibrations when retrieved through the water column. Along the top ridge, three mounting holes provide tuning options; attaching your line to the forward hole minimizes water resistance for a faster retrieve. Measuring 2 1/4" (6cm) in length, the lure sports its original hardware, including two belly-mounted treble hooks. The paint remains largely intact across the textured silver sides, though the black spine shows some slight thinning, earning it a condition rating of 4/5. A bright yellow eye with a black center and a secondary black spot near the rear serve as high-contrast visual targets.
