Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD 14, 3/5oz fishing lure #7717

Glinting with a heavy application of gold glitter, this specimen showcases the classic deep-diving profile synonymous with American bass fishing history. Engineered to reach depths between 12ft and 14ft (3.6m - 4.2m), the Norman DD 14 (Product Code 7717) is a staple for both deep casting and trolling applications. The color pattern features a brilliant gold sparkle body that transitions into a shimmering dark teal back, complemented by a subtle red accent on the throat. Weighing 3/5oz (16g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the lure balances a compact profile with significant diving power. Large red eyes with black pupils provide a distinct visual marker just above the expansive, clear diving lip. This lure remains in excellent 5/5 condition, featuring clean hardware and a robust rattling internal chamber, a hallmark of Norman's USA-made construction.
