Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell TH Spot, 1/8oz Rainbow Gray fishing spoon #7748

Weighing in at a delicate 1/8 oz (4 g), this compact lipless crankbait is a classic example of American tackle design from Cotton Cordell. The Rainbow Gray finish on this Cotton Cordell TH Spot, identified by product code 7748, features a pearlescent shimmer across its 2" (5 cm) body, complemented by a series of dark flecks along the spine and a prominent black shoulder spot. A vibrant red gill slash and a yellow eye provide additional visual triggers for predators like Trout or Zander. Because it is a sinking lure with a noise-making internal chamber, it operates through a variable depth range depending on whether you are casting or trolling. The hardware consists of sharp treble hooks that show no wear, matching the 5/5 condition of the body's paint. This specific model was manufactured in the USA, retaining the crisp "Spot Minnow" lettering along the side.
