Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell TH Spot, 1/2oz fishing lure #7752

Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this classic lipless crankbait showcases the characteristic "Ratt'l Spot" branding along its silver-scaled flank. This 3" (7.5 cm) specimen, identified by product code 7752, features an olive-toned back with a detailed scale pattern that gives way to a vibrant orange belly patch near the head. Small red specks are scattered along the upper body, complementing the bold red eyes that serve as a strike point for predators like pike, zander, or perch. As a sinking, noise-producing lure, it operates at a variable depth, allowing for deep-water exploration or shallow-water retrieves depending on the angler's retrieve speed. The hardware consists of two original silver-finished treble hooks and a top-mounted line tie. This USA-made Cotton Cordell TH Spot remains in 5/5 condition, showing a beautifully preserved finish and clean graphics. The weighted body is intended for long-distance casting or steady trolling across various water columns.
