Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Wally Diver, 1/2oz Rainbow fishing lure #10397

Weighting 1/2 oz (14 g), this Cotton Cordell Wally Diver is a staple for anglers targeting walleye, perch, and pike in deep water. The Rainbow finish on its 3 1/4" (8 cm) body features a high-visibility transition from a blue head through yellow and green to a pink belly. This floating, noisy lure carries the product code 10397 and is constructed to reach casting depths of 9–11 ft (2.7–3.3 m). For those preferring to troll, the clear lip drives the lure down to 14–18 ft (4.3–5.5 m). A distinct highlight of this specimen is its luminous properties; the body glows brightly in dark conditions to attract fish in stained or deep environments. Manufactured in the USA, the piece is presented in 5/5 condition, retaining its original hardware and finish clarity.
