Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD14, 3/5oz fishing lure #18056

Weighing in at 3/5oz (16g), this deep-diving crankbait features a distinct glitter finish across a pearlescent body, designed to catch light in deeper water. The Norman DD14, identified by product code 18056, is a classic USA-made lure measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) that utilizes an internal rattle system for auditory presence. A large, clear diving bill allows the lure to reach depths of 12ft (3.6m) to 14ft (4.2m), suitable for both casting and trolling techniques. The color pattern transitions from a shimmering silver-white base to a soft blue and green gradient on the back, punctuated by a red accent under the chin and bold red eyes. Rated at 5/5 condition, the specimen retains its vibrant sparkle and carries two dark-finished treble hooks. A pre-installed split ring on the lip ensures a secure connection for deep-water work.
