Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Spot Minnow, 1/8oz Mirror fishing lure #8132

Mirror-finished flanks distinguish this vintage specimen, catching light across its classic profile. Weighing 1/8 oz (4g) and measuring 2" (5cm) in length, this Cotton Cordell Spot Minnow, identified by Product Code 8132, features a lipless, sinking design built for both casting and trolling. The high-reflectivity silver body is accented by a solid black back and a vibrant red patch along the chin. An orange eye with a sharp black pupil sits near the head, while the signature black dot marks the rear flank. One side of the lure bears the classic "Cordell" script, while the other is stamped with "Spot MINNOW." Produced in the USA, this rattling lure is designed for variable depth fishing to target species ranging from trout and perch to pike and salmon. The original treble hooks and bronze-colored hardware are in 5/5 condition, maintaining the integrity of this vintage lipless design.
