Museum Archive: Cotton Cordell ripplin red fin, 2/5oz fishing lure #19872

Chrome-plated wavy sides define this 4" (10cm) casting lure, which remains unused and in its original vintage Cotton Cordell packaging. Cataloged under product code 19872, the Ripplin' Red Fin weighs 2/5 oz (12g) and is optimized for shallow presentations between 0–3ft (0–0.9 m). This USA-made specimen features a reflective silver finish with a contrasting black back and bright orange eyes. Its hardware consists of three sharp treble hooks, and the body includes a hollow head designed with an internal rattle for sound propagation. The extra-buoyant construction allows the lure to sit high in the water, where its unique rippled texture provides a visual of constant motion even when the angler isn't actively retrieving it.
