A substantial 1/2oz (14g) weight defines the balance of this spinnerbait, which was designed for deep-water coverage and stable retrieval. Identified by product code 17456, this specimen from the Cotton Cordell LiveLiest series features a teardrop-shaped nickel blade that offers a bright, reflective surface against the water. The lure is fitted with a vibrant neon green rubber skirt that reacts significantly to low light, providing a glowing profile as shown in the dark-field imagery. Made in the USA, the white lead head is cleanly painted and remains in 5/5 condition, showing no signs of wear. The skirt material has maintained its elasticity and vivid chartreuse hue, neatly concealing the single hook. Every component, from the wire frame to the swivel, demonstrates the classic manufacturing standards expected from vintage American tackle.
