Cotton Cordell Wally Diver

The Wally Diver is a rattling plug with a slim profile but round cross-section. Pike, zander, perch and Canadian lake trout like it very much. I use the largest model, CD7 Magnum, almost exclusively for trolling, where it is one of my most successful lures. probably the loud rattles give it a large area of awareness, which is especially important when trolling. I also have the feeling, that the rough surface somehow makes it more attractive to the fishes senses.
