Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Ratt'l Spot Minnow, 2/3oz silver/blue fishing lure #21234

A reflective chrome finish paired with a deep blue back distinguishes this lipless crankbait, which bears the classic 'Cordell' script on its side. For collectors of USA-made tackle, this Ratt'l Spot Minnow, identified by product code 21234, is a notable find. It weighs 2/3 oz (19 g) and measures 4 1/4" (11 cm), providing the heft needed for effective casting or trolling. The silver/blue color scheme is accented by a bold black spot near the tail and a red-painted nose, mimicking the features of a baitfish. As a sinking noise-maker, it allows for a variable depth (variable m / variable ft) depending on the retrieve speed. The hardware consists of two original treble hooks. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, maintaining its factory-original shine across the entire body.
