Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), this vintage metal blade is a classic example of American tackle design from Cotton Cordell. The Nickel finish on this Gay Blade, identified by product code 8822, shows soft signs of age that give it a genuine character, earning a condition rating of 4/5. Measuring 1 1/2" (4cm), the construction features a distinct flat forehead designed to generate specific vibrations. You will find two attachment holes along the dorsal edge, allowing you to manually adjust water resistance; using the forward hole permits a faster retrieve, while the rear hole increases resistance for slower presentations. The body is accented with a white painted section and a prominent black strike point near the tail, complemented by a bright orange eye. It comes equipped with its original dual treble hooks, which remain sturdy despite the darkened finish of the metal hardware. This USA-made blade lure remains a functional piece of angling history, ready for a display or a careful cast.
