Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Wally Diver, 1/4oz Silver / Chartreuse fishing lure #10217

Silver scales transition into a vibrant chartreuse back on this American-made classic, a color scheme specifically chosen for visibility in varied water conditions. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g) and measuring 2 1/2" (6.3 cm) in length, this Cotton Cordell Wally Diver carries the product code 10217. The hardware is solid, featuring two sharp bronze trebles and a sturdy line tie integrated into the clear diving bill. Anglers can expect this floater to dive 6-8 ft (1.8 - 2.5 m) on a standard cast, or reach up to 13 ft (4 m) when utilized for trolling. The specimen is in excellent shape, rated 5/5, with a clean body and crisp detailing around the yellow-and-black eyes. Beyond the daylight silver finish, the lure exhibits a distinct luminescent glow along the spine for low-light walleye or pike fishing. This rattling lure remains a standard for multi-species freshwater applications.
