Clear plastic makes up the oversized diving lip on this 2/5 oz (12 g) specimen, signaling a design built for reaching deep-water structure. Identified by product code 13173, the lure features a jointed body that provides a segmented profile across its 3 1/4" (8 cm) length. The CrawFish color scheme remains vivid, displaying a metallic bronze upper body and an earthy orange underbelly, finished with a dark crackle pattern characteristic of Norman’s vintage output from the USA. An internal rattle chamber is housed within the hard plastic shell to provide an auditory presence. The hardware is remarkably clean, earning a condition rating of 5/5, with original treble hooks and a sturdy line tie integrated into the bill. Buoyancy-driven floating properties allow it to rise when paused.
