Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD22, 1oz fishing lure #19913

Weighing exactly 1oz (25g), this deep-diving specialist is a staple for targeting ledges and submerged brush piles. The long, clear diving lip is engineered to achieve depths of 10-18ft (3-5.5m) on a standard cast, or up to 21ft (6.5m) when utilized for trolling. This specific specimen, identified by product code 19913, features a vibrant chartreuse and green speckled finish with a distinct orange accent under the chin and a sharp red eye. Measuring 3 1/4" (8cm), the lure is constructed from butyrate, a material chosen for its unique acoustic properties when paired with the internal rattle system. The hardware remains in top form with two sharp treble hooks, and the body appears exceptionally clean, warranting a 5/5 condition rating. Because of its buoyant design, the lure is crafted to float backwards when a retrieve is paused, a technical characteristic meant to help it back away from underwater snags. The lustrous coating over the green scales reflects the high level of detail Norman brings to their tournament-ready lures.
