Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD 14, 3/5oz fishing lure #17505

Internal prismatic foil creates a multifaceted reflection beneath the clear plastic shell of this American-made deep diver. Featuring a deep blue spine and classic yellow eyes, this Norman DD 14 is designed to target fish at depths between 11.8 ft (3.6 m) and 13.8 ft (4.2 m). Its 3/5 oz (16 g) weight aids in long-distance casting, while the 2 3/4" (7 cm) profile is a staple for both casting and trolling setups. This specimen, identified by product code 17505, remains in 5/5 condition, appearing remarkably well-preserved with clear, clean surfaces. The transparent body provides a look at the internal rattle chambers and the intricate scale-patterned insert that catches light from every angle. Strong bronze treble hooks are secured by original split rings, reflecting the reliable construction expected from Norman's USA production line.
