Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD14, 3/5oz fishing lure #18285

Densely packed gold and bronze glitter gives this deep-diver a reflective quality that stands out in deeper water columns. This Norman DD14, identified by product code 18285, measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighs 3/5 oz (16 g), making it a substantial choice for both casting and trolling. The construction features a clear, long-bill design engineered to reach depths between 12 ft to 14 ft (3.6 m – 4.2 m). Its finish transitions into a dark, speckled black spine, topped with classic yellow and black painted eyes. In terms of preservation, the lure is in excellent 5/5 condition, showing clean hardware and a crisp finish across the body and lip. Designed and manufactured in the USA, the internal rattle chamber provides an audible element for deep-water presentations. A sturdy stainless steel split ring is attached to the bill to ensure a secure line tie during high-pressure retrieves.
