Museum Archive: Bill Norman Jointed, 3/4oz Green / Mirror fishing lure #9807

Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), this vintage plastic swimmer showcases the classic Green / Mirror finish that defined many successful outings for anglers in decades past. Measuring 5" (13 cm) in length, the two-piece body construction is joined by a heavy-duty hinge, designed to be used with casting or trolling techniques. This specimen, identified by product code 9807, is preserved in its original packaging and remains unused. The clear diving lip is built to reach depths of 3 ft (0.9 m) to 6 ft (1.8 m) during a steady retrieve or a stop-and-go presentation. Looking closely at the head, you will find the distinct orange-red throat accent and realistic eye typical of the Bill Norman lineage. The original hardware includes sharp treble hooks attached to the belly and tail segments, ready for the water. The packaging still clearly displays the "Made with pride in the U.S.A." lettering, anchoring its origin in American tackle history.
