Museum Archive: Vintage Bill Norman Quarterback Deep, 1/4oz Silver fishing lure #23996

Silver scales accented by dark vertical bars and a vibrant orange head give this classic American-made crankbait a distinctive look. Rated at 4/5, the body shows signs of history with light wear to the paint that highlights its vintage character while remaining a solid specimen. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this Bill Norman Quarterback Deep (Product Code 23996) features a large, integrated diving lip for reaching depth. As a floating type lure, the construction remains buoyant, paired with original hardware including two treble hooks. The metallic silver finish on the flanks offers a subtle contrast against the bold orange-red face, a color scheme synonymous with early Norman production in the USA.
