Green and silver scale patterns transition into a bright yellow belly on this 17504 product code specimen. Part of the Bill Dance Signature Series, the side of the lure features the legendary angler’s autograph printed clearly above the "F.F. Fingerling" designation. This noisy, rattling crankbait is weighted as a suspender and is designed for reaching depths of 9.5–11.8 ft (2.9–3.6 m), making it a specialized tool for targeting perch, pike, and trout through casting or trolling. Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g) with a compact 2 1/4" (6 cm) body, the lure showcases a distinctive blue shad spot on the silver flank, a hallmark visual trigger for Bomber designs of this era. The clear, wide diving lip is paired with original dark-finished treble hooks that remain sharp. Constructed in the USA, the head features a white eye with a black pupil set against a deep green gradient. The lure is in beautiful shape, reflected in a condition rating of 5/5.
