Vintage Cotton Cordell Gay Blade, 2/5oz silver fishing spoon #24286

Silver honeycomb scaling runs along the top edge of this 2/5oz (12g) metal blade, highlighting its classic profile. Measuring 2" (5cm) and carrying product code 24286, this Cotton Cordell Gay Blade utilizes a weighted, flat-fronted head to create specific vibrations when pulled through the water. Looking closely at the hardware, three distinct line-tie holes sit along the spine, offering you control over water resistance; using the hole closest to the head allows for a faster retrieve. This specimen retains its original red eye and black flank spot, though it shows some paint flaking and scuffs on the silver finish around the head and gill areas, resulting in a 5/5 condition rating. Made in the USA, the design remains unchanged from the versions that have filled livewells for decades. The two original treble hooks are mounted firmly, reflecting the sturdy construction typical of Cotton Cordell's vintage production.
