Museum Archive: Vintage Norman N-Ticer, 3/8oz Yellow fishing lure #7857

Weighing in at 3/8oz (10.5g), this lipless sinking lure showcases the distinct profile of a vintage American-made Norman N-Ticer. The 2 1/2" (6.5cm) body is finished in a solid yellow, complemented by a warm orange transition along the spine and a simple, focused black eye. Collectors will note the specific molded fin details on the upper back, a signature of product code 7857 that provides a more lifelike silhouette. Designed for variable depth, this noisy "rattlin" style bait is effective for both casting and trolling when targeting pike, zander, or perch. The hardware remains clean with two original treble hooks, contributing to a condition rating of 5/5. Norman’s manufacturing heritage in the USA is evident in the robust plastic construction and the clean lines of this classic specimen.
