Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Wally Diver , 1/2oz Yellow / Black / Red fishing lure #0210

Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), this Cotton Cordell Wally Diver features a high-visibility yellow base punctuated by bold black and red spots. Identified by product code 0210, the 3 1/4" (8 cm) body is a classic American-made suspender designed to reach significant depths. When casting, expect it to reach between 9–11 ft (2.7–3.3 m), while trolling takes it further down to the 14–18 ft (4.3–5.5 m) range. The hardware remains in top shape, earning this specimen a 5/5 condition rating. A large, clear diving lip is integrated into the head to handle the pressure of deep-water retrieval. This specific lure carries the distinct aesthetic of Cotton Cordell's USA manufacturing era, characterized by the painted spots and the classic black-and-yellow eye. Each hook is securely attached via sturdy split rings to the belly and tail.
