Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Super Spot, 1/2oz Mirror fishing lure #9683

Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), this sinking Cotton Cordell Super Spot is a classic example of American lure craftsmanship in the Mirror colorway. This 3" (7.5cm) rattlin, identified by product code 9683, is designed for a variable depth, allowing it to be used effectively for casting or trolling at various levels of the water column. The silver-chrome body is accented with a deep teal back and a characteristic black spot, alongside a red chin detail and bright orange eyes. With a condition rating of 4/5, the lure presents well despite some light paint loss on the top surface, showing the authentic character of a piece from this era. Its original bronze-finished treble hooks remain intact, secured to the body of this USA-made lipless crankbait which features the iconic Super Spot embossing on the side.
