Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Wally Diver Magnum UV, 3/4oz Chartreuse fishing lure #11872

Vivid Chartreuse paint with dark vertical perch stripes defines the aesthetic of this Cotton Cordell Wally Diver Magnum UV. With a substantial weight of 3/4 oz (21 g), it is designed for deep-reaching presentations, capable of hitting 9-15 ft (2.7-4.6 m) while casting or reaching 14-18 ft (4.3-5.5 m) during trolling runs. A standout feature of this 3 3/4" (9.5 cm) model is its glow-in-the-dark UV capability, which provides visibility in low-light environments. This specific specimen, carrying product code 11872, holds a condition rating of 4/5; while the exterior remains in great shape, an internal weight ball has become loose. The lure is built with an internal rattle chamber and a floating buoyancy, paired with a large, clear diving lip for reaching target depths. Made in the USA, the hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks secured to the 9.5 cm frame, complemented by a signature orange-red eye.
