Museum Archive: Vintage Norman N-Ticer, 3/8oz fishing lure #16075

A striking chrome finish dominates the profile of this lipless crankbait, accented by a deep blue back and head. This Norman N-Ticer, cataloged under product code 16075, measures 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length and tips the scales at 3/8 oz (10.5 g). Originating from the USA, this specimen features characteristic twin dorsal fins that provide stability during casting or trolling sessions. The chrome plating shows some light use consistent with its 4/5 rating, reflecting the history of a lure built for targeting species like bass, trout, and pike. Its sinking design allows for variable depth exploration, while the internal rattle provides an auditory signature during the retrieve. The hardware consists of two bronze treble hooks and a line tie positioned on the nose for a balanced presentation. A classic yellow and black eye provides a focused point of contrast against the reflective silver sides.
