Cordell Red Fin 5/8 Chrome Blue

The Cordell Red Fin 5/8 Chrome Blue is a versatile hard jerk bait built for hunters who want one lure that handles multiple retrieve styles and fish species. This compact jerk bait works equally well in freshwater—targeting bass and walleye—and saltwater applications like specks and redfish. Its compact 5/8-inch profile and chrome blue finish make it a practical choice when you want options without overpacking your tackle box.

What sets the Red Fin apart is its retrieve flexibility. Twitch it on the surface for explosive topwater strikes, work it with a twitch-twitch-pause cadence for an erratic, wounded-baitfish action, or throw it on a straight retrieve and let its natural wobble do the work. It also excels as a wake bait, making it one of the most reliable searching tools in your arsenal when you're not sure what gamefish are willing to commit.

The Red Fin's reputation spans decades because Cordell builds it with quality materials and durable components designed to withstand hard use and aggressive fish. Whether you're stripping it slowly on top for stripers and trophy bass or covering water quickly to locate active fish, this jerk bait delivers consistent performance without fuss.
