Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Super Spot, 1/3oz fishing lure #15517

Weighing 1/3oz (9g), the lipless profile of this Cotton Cordell Super Spot (Product Code: 15517) exemplifies a classic American shad imitation. The 2 1/4" (6cm) frame features a blue-to-silver gradient, detailed with fine horizontal lines and a prominent black lateral spot near the dorsal area. A soft pink tint appears around the gills, complementing the large, realistic eyes that provide a focal point for predators. Manufactured in the USA, the design includes a top-mounted line tie which positions the lure for a nose-down orientation during retrieval. The hardware consists of two original dark-finished treble hooks secured by robust split rings. This specimen is presented in 5/5 condition, maintaining the integrity of its factory finish.
