Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Cotton Tail 0, 1/16oz Nickel / Yellow spinning lure #10138

Adorning the stamped nickel blade is a subtle scale pattern that catches the light alongside the embossed "COTTON TAIL" brand mark. This 1/16 oz (1.7 g) inline spinner represents a staple in the Cotton Cordell legacy of panfish and trout lures crafted in the USA. The yellow lead body features a dark spotted pattern, transitioning into a vibrant yellow feathered treble hook that provides a soft visual profile. Measuring 2" (5.08 cm) in total length, the specimen remains in 5/5 condition, with the original hardware and finish preserved. Collectors will recognize the specific 10138 product code assigned to this Nickel/Yellow color variant. The clevis is designed to hold the blade away from the wire shaft, ensuring rotation during a standard casting and retrieval process.
