Museum Archive: Vintage Excalibur Bomber Bill Dance Signature Series Fat Fingerling, 2/5oz fishing lure #8962

Weighted at 2/5 oz (12 g), this deep-diving crankbait features a distinct blue-to-silver scale pattern that transitions from a saturated teal back to a pearlized belly. Bearing the signature of legendary angler Bill Dance, the Excalibur Bomber Bill Dance Signature Series Fat Fingerling (Product Code 8962) is built to reach depths between 9.5 and 11.8 ft (2.9 - 3.6 m). The clear, wide diving lip is engineered for deep-water presentation, paired with a rattling internal chamber that provides presence during casting or trolling. On the side of the 2 1/4" (6 cm) body, the "FAT FREE FINGERLING" model name is clearly stamped in black text. It remains equipped with original, sharp Excalibur rotating treble hooks. This specimen is a suspender and is found in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with the reflective finish and hardware appearing quite fresh.
