Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell ripplin red fin, 3/8oz Silver fishing lure #9909

Measuring 4 1/2" (11.4 cm), the silver-colored body of this specimen transitions into a subtle dark back, representing a classic finish often utilized for targeting walleye, perch, and pike. Three sets of treble hooks are securely attached to the belly, optimized for casting in shallow environments with a diving depth of 0–3 ft (0–0.9 m). Bright red eyes punctuate the head, a signature visual trait of the Cotton Cordell lineage that remains consistent in this USA-produced item. Identified by product code 9909, the lure features a clear, integrated diving lip and maintains a 5/5 condition rating, showing no signs of wear. Weighing 3/8 oz (10.5 g), the lure's construction focuses on durability for frequent casting applications in fresh water.
