Measuring 4" (10cm) in length and weighing 1/3oz (9g), this shallow-running minnow has long been a staple for those targeting pike, zander, and perch. The silver-finished body shows honest wear consistent with its 3/5 condition rating, yet the classic blue back and distinctive scale pattern remain clear. Stamped clearly with the "RED FIN" name on its flank, this specific Cotton Cordell model (Product Code 20878) is equipped with three treble hooks to ensure solid hooksets. Originating from the USA, the design includes a small diving lip intended for shallow work between 0-3ft (0-1m). Red accents near the gill plate provide a subtle flash of color against the metallic sides, a detail that helped define the brand's aesthetic during this era of tackle manufacturing.
