Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell TH Spot, 1/2oz Rainbow Black fishing lure #6518

Rainbow Black finishes on these 3" (7.5 cm) lures showcase the detailed, photo-realistic imagery Cotton Cordell mastered in their Arkansas workshop. This TH Spot model weighs in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and features a distinct red "bleeding" accent along the chin and lower face, adding a sharp contrast to the silver and black striped shad pattern. It is a sinking lure, allowing the angler to count it down to specific depths or work it through various layers of the water column. The hardware consists of two bright, silver-finished treble hooks secured by sturdy split rings. Carrying product code 6518, this USA-made specimen is rated 5/5 for condition, with the graphics and clear-coat finish remaining remarkably well-preserved. A dark blue-black dorsal area highlights the fine scale patterns and the intricate gill plate details visible on both sides of the body.
