Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD14, 3/5oz fishing lure #17430

Glittering green and gold hues decorate the body of this deep-diving lure, accented by bold vertical stripes along the flanks. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 3/5 oz (16 g), this Norman DD14 is a classic American-made rattling crankbait identified by product code 17430. It is engineered for both casting and trolling, effectively reaching depths between 11.8 ft and 13.8 ft (3.6 m – 4.2 m). A large, clear diving lip dominates the front profile, while two yellow eyes with black pupils sit atop the head against a dark, sparkling back. This particular specimen is in unused condition, rating a 5/5 with its original finish and hardware perfectly preserved.
