Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD14, 3/5oz Yellow / Green fishing lure #14859

Weighing in at 3/5oz (16g), this American-made deep diver showcases a vibrant yellow and green sparkle finish that remains a staple for targeting fish in deeper water columns. Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm), the body of the Norman DD14 is equipped with its signature long, clear diving lip designed to reach depths between 12ft and 14ft (3.6 m – 4.2 m). This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 14859, features classic painted yellow eyes with distinct black pupils, a detail characteristic of vintage Norman production from the USA. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks securely attached to reinforced hangers, making it suitable for both casting and trolling applications. Its noise-making rattle chamber is integrated into the sturdy plastic body, a design choice by Norman to provide auditory presence in darker waters or thick cover. The condition is rated 5/5, as the finish maintains its original glitter intensity and the hardware shows minimal signs of age, with the bronze-colored hooks maintaining their original points.
