Museum Archive: Vintage Norman Deep Baby NUV, 1/4oz Chart Blue Back fishing lure #8587

Measuring exactly 2" (5 cm) in length, this specimen represents the classic American engineering of the Norman Deep Baby NUV. Its Chart Blue Back finish transitions into a chartreuse body that conceals a specialized UV glow-in-the-dark feature, which emits a vibrant green luminescence in low-light environments. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the lure is engineered to reach diving depths between 6 and 8 ft (1.8 - 2.4 m), making it a versatile choice for both casting and trolling near deeper structures. The long, clear diving lip is characteristic of the Norman line, designed for efficient depth attainment. Labeled with product code 8587, the lure is in a 4/5 condition, showing well-maintained surfaces and original hardware. Two silver-tone treble hooks are attached via sturdy split rings to the belly and tail hangers. A distinct yellow eye with a dark pupil provides a sharp focal point against the bright green-blue gradient of the body.
