Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Wiggle O, 1/3oz fishing lure #8060

Dressed in the vibrant 311 color pattern, the 1/3 oz (10 g) body features a striking green-to-yellow gradient accented by bold black spotting and a thick dorsal stripe. This Cotton Cordell Wiggle O, identified by product code 8060, is a classic USA-manufactured floating lure measuring 2" (5 cm). The clear, oversized diving lip is stamped with the model name and houses a sturdy line tie for deep-diving casting or trolling sessions. Two silver-tone treble hooks remain sharp and well-attached, contributing to a solid 4/5 condition rating for this specimen. Large, textured eyes give the lure a lifelike appearance from above, while the internal rattle mechanism ensures a noisy presence in the water. Designed to target a wide variety of species including pike, perch, and salmon, the lure represents a staple era of American tackle design.
