Museum Archive: Vintage Norman Speed N Crankbait, 1/2oz Pearl fishing lure #18057

Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, this crankbait utilizes the time-tested Deep Little N body profile while being specifically weighted for the 4-6ft (1.2–2.1m) depth range. The 1/2oz (14g) weight allows for stable casting distance, even in breezy conditions. Identified as product code 18057, this specimen is finished in a classic Pearl color with bold red and black eyes acting as focal points. Its construction features a butyrate body, which houses an internal rattle designed to produce a distinct dull thumping sound. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks, and the lure's surface is protected by a signature gel coating intended to preserve the finish through frequent use. Currently rated in 4/5 condition, the exterior remains well-preserved with its original luster intact. This USA-made lure is a specific tool for anglers targeting mid-range depths where the buoyancy of butyrate is preferred over standard plastics.
