Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Ratt'l Spot Minnow, 2/3oz G-finish fishing lure #21235

Carrying a weight of 2/3 oz (19g), this Cotton Cordell Ratt'l Spot Minnow is a substantial sinking lipless lure built for reaching varied depths in both fresh and saltwater. The 4 1/4" (11cm) body showcases a G-finish pattern with realistic gill plates, a red-rimmed eye, and dark spots over an orange-brown gradient. Stamped clearly on the flank is the Cordell signature, while the belly bears the 'Ratt'l Spot MINNOW' identification. Designed for versatility, this model with product code 21235 is suitable for casting or trolling when targeting species such as salmon, trout, pike, and perch. Since it is a sinking rattling lure, the working depth remains variable based on the speed of the retrieve. The specimen is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, and retains its original silver-colored treble hooks. This particular lure was manufactured in the USA.
