Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Ratt'l Spot, 3/4oz fishing lure #14739

Weighted at 3/4 oz (21 g), this American-made lipless crankbait provides the necessary heft for reaching deep-water structure or cutting through a stiff headwind. The silver scale finish is beautifully contrasted by a solid dark back and the classic "Cordell" branding stamped clearly on the side. Measuring 4 1/4" (11 cm), the Ratt'l Spot (Product Code 14739) is a sinking lure designed for a variable depth range, giving the angler total control over the water column during both casting and trolling. Its profile mimics natural forage like shad, complete with a prominent golden eye and a distinct gill marking that serves as a strike point for species such as pike, zander, or salmon. The hardware includes two robust treble hooks in a dark finish, firmly secured for heavy-duty use. This specimen is preserved in 5/5 condition, retaining its original metallic luster across the textured body.
