RIP! Tight lines forever!

I met him at the Harrisburg show long ago ,what a character and  nice fellow. RIP

Wow, I am really sorry to hear that.  R.I.P. Cotton.

Wow... That's crazy. I may have not been a fan of the lures made under his name, but he sure brought much too this sport. May he be fishing in the big pond now.

I always liked his baits. The Gay blade is a fantastic lure. I like the Ripplin Redfin and the Hot Spot should be  a hall of famer.

Kind of lets you know how old you're getting when a lot of your Heros are passing. RIP Cotton. Brian.

R.I.P.   I must be getting old.

Certainly a pioneer in the industry! A loss for sure.

Sad to hear, RIP Mr. Cordell.

His baits gets me bass!

 

Rest in peace Cotton!

Brought the Fred Young Big O to the masses in plastic.  Kind of a big deal at the time.  RIP

R.I.P.

Rest in Peace.

Really sad to hear this. RIP Cotton.
