Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD22, 1oz fishing lure #8169

Weighing in at a substantial 1 oz (28 g), this deep-diving specialist is engineered to reach depths of 21.3 ft (6.5 m). The 3 1/4" (8 cm) body is finished in a classic color pattern featuring a grey-to-silver gradient across the back, transitioning into a bone-white belly. A pair of bold red eyes sits just above the oversized clear diving lip, which defines this model's ability to get down quickly and stay in the strike zone. This specific specimen, labeled under product code 8169, comes from a lineage of American-made tackle known for its reliability on big water. As a rattling, floating crankbait, it offers a distinct acoustic presence compared to silent alternatives. The hardware remains crisp and bright, and the overall state of the lure earns a 5/5 condition rating. Every component, from the split rings to the sharp treble hooks, reflects the original factory assembly from its USA origin.
