Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD22 HD (Heavy Diver), 1oz Chart / Blue fishing lure #9393

A hefty 1oz (28g) weight allows this deep-diving specialist to reach and maintain depths of 19.6ft (6m) or more. Cataloged as product code 9393, the Norman DD22 HD (Heavy Diver) is a suspending model designed to stay put in the strike zone during pauses. The 3 1/4" (8cm) body is finished in a vibrant Chart / Blue scheme with fine green speckling and a subtle orange throat patch, all treated with UV-reactive pigments for better visibility in the deep. Produced in the USA, the lure incorporates an internal rattle system to provide a sonic signature that complements its visual presence. All hardware, including the black treble hooks, is clean and the finish is exceptionally well-preserved, warranting a condition rating of 5/5. The oversized clear bill is securely molded to the frame, providing the necessary leverage for deep-water exploration.
