Museum Archive: Vintage Norman N-Ticer, 3/8oz Mirror Silver / Blue fishing lure #9224

Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5 cm) in length, the Norman N-Ticer features a streamlined, lipless body shape designed for reaching variable depths depending on retrieve speed. This 3/8 oz (10.5 g) sinking lure, identified by Product Code 9224, sports a Mirror Silver / Blue color scheme that provides a high-contrast flash in the water. The silver finish shows light signs of wear consistent with a 4/5 condition rating, while the deep blue back adds a naturalistic touch. A single red dot serves as a minimalist eye, a common design element in vintage Norman lures from the USA. Its construction includes a top-mounted line tie and two belly-mounted treble hooks, making it suitable for targeting species like pike, zander, and trout. This specimen reflects the era of early noise-making lures intended for both casting and trolling.
