Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Red Fin Jointed, 1/2oz fishing lure #15528

Measuring 5" (13 cm) in length, this jointed Cotton Cordell classic features a textured silver body transitioning into a vibrant pink back and a pale yellow underside. This specific specimen, identified by product code 15528, is a shallow runner designed to operate at depths between 0 and 4 ft (0 – 1.2 m). The two-piece body is joined by a sturdy hinge and paired with a polished metal diving lip, characteristic of the Red Fin series. At a weight of 1/2 oz (14 g), the lure contains an internal rattle system designed for casting techniques targeting pike, bass, and zander. Originating from the USA, the lure remains in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of use on its hardware or its distinctive red-and-white eye detailing. Small red gill markings are cleanly applied just behind the head, and both treble hooks remain bright and sharp.
