Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Super Spot, 3/4oz fishing lure #17583

A hefty 3/4 oz (21 g) weight gives this Cotton Cordell Super Spot the density needed for reaching depth quickly. Identified by product code 17583, the 3 1/2" (9 cm) body is adorned with a detailed grey scale pattern along the dorsal surface and a prominent black strike point near the tail. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, appearing exceptionally clean with its original finish and silver-tone treble hooks fully intact. Being a sinking noisemaker, it operates at a variable depth, allowing an angler to target species like salmon, pike, or zander depending on the retrieve. The yellow eye provides a classic focal point, typical of vintage USA-made Cordell production. It is a solid piece of tackle history that helped pioneer the lipless rattling category for generations of anglers.
