Museum Archive: Vintage ​Norman DD 14, 1/2oz fishing lure #13218

A vibrant glitter finish covers the body of this Deep Diver 14, transitioning from a dark teal-green back into silver-gold scales along the flanks. Weighing 1/2oz (14g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the Norman DD 14 is engineered for reaching depths between 11.8ft and 13.7ft (3.6m - 4.2m). The oversized clear diving lip features a sturdy line-tie ring, essential for maintaining stability during deep casting or trolling sessions. Bold red eyes with black centers are set just above a soft orange throat patch, providing a classic strike target. This specific specimen, identified by product code 13218, showcases the craftsmanship typical of Norman’s USA production. An internal rattle chamber adds a sound element to its presence in the water, complementing the visual flash. Rated 5/5, the lure is in excellent form, with the glitter coating and both original dark-finished treble hooks remaining well-preserved.
