Museum Archive: Cotton Cordell Grappler Shad Deep Diver, 2/5oz Pearl cisco fishing lure #7371

Finished in the 'Pearl cisco' pattern, the 2 3/4" (7 cm) body features a high-contrast white finish with detailed scale patterns and a prominent, realistic eye. This Cotton Cordell Grappler Shad Deep Diver, identified by product code CD15406, is a specialized tool engineered to reach depths of up to 20ft (6 m) when trolled. Weighing 2/5oz (12 g), the lure's construction is balanced for both casting and trolling applications, specifically recommended for targeting walleye, salmon, and bass. The long, clear diving lip is designed to drive the lure deep into the water column, while the original USA-made packaging confirms its heritage and authenticity. This specimen is in unused condition, preserved in its original blister pack. The reverse side of the carding includes the French designation 'Grande plongée,' reflecting its broad appeal across North American waters.
