Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD14, 3/5oz Fire tiger fishing lure #20808

Reaching depths between 11.8ft and 13.8ft (3.6m – 4.2m), the elongated clear diving lip on this specimen identifies it as a specialized tool for targeting deep-water structures. This Norman DD14, carrying product code 20808, showcases a vibrant Fire Tiger pattern featuring a bright lime green back that transitions into a chartreuse body accented with dark, irregular markings and a warm orange belly. Originating from the USA, the 3/5 oz (16g) lure measures 2 3/4" (7cm) and includes an internal rattle system designed to provide auditory presence during casting or trolling runs. The body shows signs of character from past fishing trips, reflecting a 3/5 condition rating with visible wear that tells the story of many casts. The original treble hooks remain attached, ready for a display case or a return to the water to explore the depths where it was intended to work.
