Museum Archive: Vintage Norman Deep Little Scooper, 2/5oz Brown Tiger fishing lure #13274

A broad, clear diving lip dominates the profile of this vintage find, specifically designed to reach depths between 8.8 and 11.8 feet (2.7 - 3.6 m). Coming from Norman's discontinued archives, this Deep Little Scooper features a classic Brown Tiger finish, characterized by its dark brown-to-orange gradient and distinct vertical bars. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), the body measures a compact 2 1/4" (6 cm) and houses an internal rattle to provide an audible presence during deep-water casting or trolling. The build is solid, typical of vintage USA craftsmanship, with two sharp treble hooks securely attached via metal split rings. Large, painted yellow eyes sit near the front, providing a high-contrast target for deep-dwelling predators. This specimen, identified by product code 13274, shows remarkable preservation with a 5/5 condition rating. The textured scale pattern across the top of the body adds a subtle layer of realism to the finish.
