Museum Archive: Cotton Cordell Spot minnow, 1/8oz fishing lure #21345

Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this lipless sinking lure remains in its original packaging as a pristine, unused example for collectors. The silver scale pattern, accented by black spots and the word "Spot" printed on the side, is a classic Cotton Cordell design cataloged under product code C290211. At a weight of 1/8 oz (4 g), it is built to reach variable depths, making it suitable for both casting and vertical jigging techniques. The vintage carding identifies it as a "Calant" sinking model, which was assembled in Mexico. Two sharp treble hooks are mounted to the belly and tail, ready for targeting species like perch, trout, or walleye. This specimen features a compact profile designed for a steady retrieve at the desired depth.
