Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Ratt'l Spot Minnow, 3/5oz fishing lure #16242

Weighing in at 3/5 oz (17 g), this sinking lure features a robust 4 1/4" (11 cm) profile finished in a classic bone-white palette. The Cotton Cordell Ratt'l Spot Minnow, cataloged under product code 16242, offers a variable depth range depending on retrieve speed and count-down time. A vibrant yellow eye and a sharp red accent on the nose tip serve as focal points, complemented by a single black spot positioned toward the rear. This American-made specimen remains in superb condition with a 5/5 rating, sporting a clean exterior and bright gold-finished treble hooks. Built for both casting and trolling, the internal rattle system provides a distinct auditory signature when pursuing species like pike, zander, or trout.
