Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Rattlin Spot, 1/2oz fishing lure #10417

Hand-scripted "Super Spot" lettering along the side marks this lipless crankbait as a standout piece of American tackle history from Cotton Cordell. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) and weighing a substantial 1/2 oz (14 g), the lure is dressed in a classic shad pattern featuring a vibrant blue back, textured scale detailing, and a prominent lateral spot. Its design includes an oversized eye and intricate gill plate accents that give the profile a lifelike appearance. As a sinking model with product code 10417, it is engineered for variable depth applications, allowing for precise presentation through the water column while casting or trolling for species like pike, zander, and perch. The hardware remains original, featuring two sharp treble hooks securely mounted to the belly and tail. This specimen is in excellent shape, showing a very well-preserved finish that merits a condition rating of 5/5.
