Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell TH Spot, 1/2oz Silver / Light Blue fishing lure #13789

Silver scaling with a textured, dimpled finish covers the majority of this lipless crankbait's body. A vibrant light blue back contrasts with the metallic sides, accented by a distinct red mark on the chin area. This 1/2 oz (14 g) sinking lure, measuring 3" (7.5 cm), features the characteristic dark spot toward the tail that defines the Cotton Cordell TH Spot series. Identified by product code 13789, it was manufactured in the USA as a noisy sinking lure for targeting species such as pike, zander, and trout. The hardware consists of two treble hooks and a prominent gold-toned eye. Rated at 4/5, the finish displays light surface wear that gives the lure an authentic, fished-in appearance. Built for variable diving depths, it is a versatile tool for both casting and trolling techniques.
