Museum Archive: Vintage Cotton Cordell Сotton Cordell Big O, 1/4oz fishing lure #17345

Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g), the smoky pearl finish on this 2" (5cm) crankbait is accented by a dark charcoal back and silver glitter flakes along the sides. A prominent red gill mark sits just behind the yellow eyes, while a large black spot provides a distinct target point on the mid-section. This particular Cotton Cordell Big O, listed under product code 17345, is a floating model capable of reaching depths from 2 to 4 ft (0.6 – 1.2 m). Designed for casting or trolling when chasing perch, pike, or asp, the lure retains its original darkened treble hooks and clear square lip. Collectors will notice the 5/5 condition, which highlights the crispness of the paint and the lack of visible wear on the body. A split ring is securely attached to the line tie on the lip for immediate rigging.
