Museum Archive: Vintage Norman Little N UV, 2/5oz Green fishing lure #8198

Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (11 g), this 2 3/4" (7 cm) crankbait is finished in a vibrant fluorescent green that reacts strongly under ultraviolet light. This Norman Little N UV, identified by product code 8198, is engineered for both casting and trolling with an effective diving range between 3.9 ft (1.2 m) and 6.9 ft (2.1 m). The matte black diving lip extends into a dark spine, creating a high-contrast profile against the bright chartreuse flanks. Internal rattles provide a noisy acoustic signature, while the floating buoyancy allows the lure to rise away from submerged obstructions. Large yellow-ringed eyes are positioned forward on the head, offering a striking focal point for predatory fish. Manufactured in the USA, the lure remains unused, retaining its original sheen and sharp hardware for a clean 5/5 condition assessment.
