Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD22 HD (Heavy Diver), 1oz fishing lure #19283

The metallic gold finish on the upper half of this crankbait provides a classic flash that contrasts sharply against its vibrant orange belly. Carrying the product code 19283, the Norman DD22 HD (Heavy Diver) is a specialized deep-water tool for reaching depths of 6+ m (20 ft). Weighing in at 1oz (25g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8cm) in length, the specimen features a distinct black lateral spot and yellow eyes with black pupils for a focused profile. A long, clear diving lip defines its deep-diving capability, supported by a heavy-duty construction and internal rattles that provide sound when retrieved. This specimen is in top-tier shape, maintaining a 5/5 rating with clean surfaces and robust hardware. As a suspender type, it allows for strategic pauses in deep structure, keeping the lure in the strike zone longer.
