Silver and chartreuse tones define the aesthetic of this vintage Bill Norman Quarterback Shallow, featuring a textured mesh pattern across its 2" (5 cm) body. Tipping the scales at 1/4 oz (7 g), this specimen is equipped with a sturdy metal diving lip that includes an integrated snap swivel, a hallmark of Norman's thoughtful engineering. The finish is well-preserved, earning a condition rating of 4/5, with a clean surface that showcases the fine scale-like detailing. One of the more interesting technical aspects of this specific lure is its luminous property; the body emits a distinct glow under low-light conditions, a specialized feature for stained water. Intended for working the upper layers of the water column, it reaches depths of approximately 3.3 ft (1 m). Labeled under product code 8591, the lure features two original treble hooks and the iconic yellow eye with a black pupil, typical of the manufacturer's classic production era.
