Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell TH Spot G-Finish , 1/2oz fishing lure #11140

G-Finish coating on this specimen creates a subtle, shimmering effect that shifts between golden-brown and silver tones depending on the light. Produced in the USA, this 1/2 oz (14 g) Cotton Cordell TH Spot, identified by product code 11140, represents a classic lipless crankbait design known for its internal rattle. The 3" (7.5 cm) body features dark, vertical scale-like markings that contrast against the pearlescent sides and darker back. This sinking lure is designed for variable depth applications, making it a versatile tool for both casting and trolling setups targeting walleye, pike, or perch. The hardware includes two treble hooks attached via split rings, with the lure maintaining a 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint and clean metal components. The large, dark eye serves as a distinct strike point on the tapered head.
