Museum Archive: Vintage Excalibur Bomber Bill Dance Signature Series Fat Free, 1/2oz fishing lure #9183

A clear, cursive Bill Dance signature identifies this 1/2oz (14g) deep-diving crankbait as part of the Excalibur Bomber Signature Series. Measuring 2 1/2" (6.5cm) in length, the lure features a classic green-back scale pattern that fades into a cream belly, accented by a bold orange patch around the gill area and a distinct black shoulder spot. This specific specimen, product code 9183, is equipped with original Excalibur treble hooks and a large clear diving lip designed to reach depths between 9.5ft and 12ft (2.9 - 3.6m). Manufactured in the USA, the body is designed as a noisemaker with suspending properties, making it a versatile tool for targeting walleye, perch, or pike through both casting and trolling techniques. The overall condition of this vintage piece is rated at 5/5, with the finish and hardware showing exceptional care.
