Museum Archive: Vintage Norman Minnow Floater Jointed, 1/4oz Silver fishing lure #9282

Silver-toned with realistic vertical striping, a 3 1/2" (9cm) jointed minnow like this represents the quality of vintage American-made tackle. A Norman Minnow Floater Jointed identified by product code 9282, it features a durable plastic body designed to reach depths of 3ft (0.9 m) to 6ft (1.8 m). Weighing 1/4oz (6.5g), the lure serves both casting and trolling setups, ideally suited for a steady retrieve or a stop-and-go cadence. The dual-segment construction relies on sturdy internal hinges and carries two original treble hooks. A clear, angled diving lip provides the necessary resistance, complemented by painted yellow eyes that stand out against the metallic finish. Manufactured in the USA, the lure remains in 5/5 condition, displaying a clean surface and original hardware. The silver color pattern includes a fine scale texture overlaid with dark vertical bars.
