Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD14, 3/5oz Bass fishing lure #17236

Scale-patterned sides and a bold dark lateral band define the "Bass" aesthetic of this American-made deep diver. Purpose-built to reach depths of 12ft (3.6m) to 14ft (4.2m), the Norman DD14 is a versatile choice for both casting and trolling enthusiasts. This specimen, carrying product code 17236, fits its 3/5oz (16g) weight into a 2 3/4" (7cm) frame. It holds a 4/5 condition rating, displaying light signs of use that reflect its vintage character while maintaining a well-preserved finish. The hardware includes two treble hooks and distinctive red eyes, while the integrated noise-making chamber adds auditory appeal in deeper waters. A large, clear diving lip ensures it descends rapidly to the intended strike zone.
