Museum Archive: Vintage Bill Norman Jointed Reb 2 Minnow, 1/3oz Blue Silver fishing lure #9293

Jointed construction and a slender profile characterize this classic find from Bill Norman’s USA-based production. Weighing 1/3oz (9g), the lure features a Blue Silver finish where a deep blue dorsal line blends into a translucent silver body. Three treble hooks are spaced along the 3 1/2" (9cm) frame, which uses a clear diving lip to navigate beneath the surface. Bright yellow eyes with black centers provide a distinct visual point on the head, following the specifications for product code 9293. This particular specimen is found in 5/5 condition, retaining the clean lines and clear hardware typical of a well-maintained vintage lure. As a floating model, the jointed section allows the tail to respond naturally to tension during a retrieve.
