Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Spot Rattle Glitter Shad, 1/4oz Gray / Red Eyes / Glitter fishing lure #7249

Heavy glitter particles are embedded within the gray-to-cream gradient of this Cotton Cordell Spot Rattle, catching light across the scale-patterned back. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm), this sinking lure, listed under product code 7249, is a classic lipless design intended for a variable diving depth. The finish features a distinctive honeycomb scale texture on the upper body that transitions into a clean, light underside. A bold black spot is positioned behind the head, while the striking red eyes and a small red accent on the chin provide clear focal points for predatory fish. Rated at a 5/5 condition, the specimen shows no signs of use, with the original hardware and finish remaining bright and intact. This American-made rattlebait is built for versatile techniques like casting and trolling, targeting species ranging from perch to pike across various water columns.
