Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) in length, this plastic floater features a classic silver scale pattern set against a soft blue back. The Bill Norman Shiner Minnow, identified by product code 19425, weighs 3/16 oz (5 g) and is built for versatility in both casting and trolling applications. Its diving depth of 3-6 ft (0.9-1.8 m) is achieved via the fixed plastic lip, which shows a slight amber tint often seen in well-preserved vintage Norman pieces. A notable red paint detail sits just below the head, complemented by the distinctive yellow eyes. This specific lure holds a 4/5 condition rating, showing honest wear on the metallic sides where the finish has softened over time. The hardware includes two treble hooks attached via split rings, ready for a stop-and-go retrieval technique. Originating from the USA, the Shiner Minnow’s slender body shape was designed to mimic small forage fish found in various freshwater habitats.
