Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD22 HD (Heavy Diver), 1oz Splatter Bass fishing lure #9396

Splatter Bass coloration on a 3 1/4" (8cm) body gives this Norman DD22 HD (Heavy Diver) a classic, high-contrast look suited for deep-water presentation. Identified by product code 9396, the specimen features a massive clear diving lip engineered to reach depths of 20ft (6 m) or more. The "HD" designation is backed by a substantial 1oz (25g) weight, which aids in reaching the target zone quickly. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean finish on its off-white sides and grey-scaled back, which are separated by a distinctive dark speckled line. Prominent yellow eyes with black pupils sit just above the lip, providing a clear strike target. The internal rattle chamber is designed to provide acoustic presence in the depths, complemented by two original silver treble hooks. Proudly made in the USA, the construction utilizes a line tie ring located directly on the lip to ensure stability when the lure is under high resistance.
