Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD 14, 3/5oz fishing lure #7081

Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) and weighing 3/5oz (16g), this deep diver features a distinctive dark olive back that fades into a delicate lime-green scale pattern. The oversized clear bill is engineered to drive the lure down into the 12ft–14ft (3.6m – 4.2m) range, making it a professional choice for deep-water casting or trolling. Those bright yellow eyes with large black pupils provide a high-contrast focal point against the textured sides. This American-made specimen, cataloged under product code 7081, incorporates an internal noise-making rattle to aid tracking in deeper, darker water columns. The finish is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with the paint and hardware appearing crisp and well-maintained. Both original treble hooks remain sharp and ready for the water.
