Museum Archive: Bill Norman Jointed, 3/4oz Mirror Silver / Green fishing lure #9471

Mirror Silver and Green paint across a 5-inch (13 cm) plastic body characterizes this vintage 9471 find. Originating from the USA, this specimen weighs in at 3/4 oz (21 g) and features a distinct jointed construction designed for both casting and trolling applications. The Bill Norman Jointed is a floating model engineered to reach depths between 3 ft (0.9 m) and 6 ft (1.8 m). Looking through the clear blister pack, the lure remains unused, reflecting the classic manufacturing style from Greenwood, Arkansas. Hardware consists of two treble hooks and a transparent diving bill intended for steady or stop-and-go retrieve techniques.
