Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Gay Blade Blade, 2/5oz White / Red fishing spoon #6609

Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (12.5 g), this USA-made blade lure features a high-contrast White / Red paint scheme with a prominent blue and yellow target eye. Measuring 2" (5 cm) long, the 6609 model is defined by its thin metal profile and a specific flat surface on the forehead designed to interact with water flow. Two distinct mounting holes on the top ridge provide options for tuning resistance; using the forward hole reduces drag for higher-speed presentations, while the rear hole increases the pull against the line. The condition of this piece is superb, rated 5/5, with the finish appearing bright and intact across the entire body. Original hardware, including two belly-mounted treble hooks, remains securely attached to the weighted frame.
