Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Ratt'l Spot, 3/4oz Green Tiger fishing lure #9582

Chrome-finished sides topped with a vibrant Green Tiger pattern characterize this Cotton Cordell Ratt'l Spot, an American-made classic bearing product code 9582. Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), it offers substantial heft for reaching deep into the water column during casting or trolling sessions. The 4 1/4" (11 cm) body features distinctive vertical black stripes over a green back, tapering into a black forehead and a yellow eye with a dark pupil. As a sinking vibration bait, its working depth remains variable depending on the retrieve speed and sink time. The exterior displays light marks and soft wear on the metallic finish, reflecting a well-preserved 4/5 condition. The hardware consists of two belly-mounted treble hooks, originally designed for targeting a wide range of species including pike, walleye, and salmon.
