Museum Archive: Vintage Excalibur Bomber Bill Dance Signature Series Fat Free Fingerling , 2/5oz fishing lure #10020

At a weight of 2/5 oz (12 g), this Excalibur Bomber Bill Dance Signature Series Fat Free Fingerling represents a classic era of deep-diving crankbaits produced in the USA. The 2 1/4" (6 cm) body features a striking crawfish-inspired pattern, blending an olive-drab back into orange-tinged sides and a bright yellow belly. Emblazoned clearly on the flank is the signature of Bill Dance, a hallmark of this specific series identified by product code 10020. This specimen remains in top-tier condition, rated 5/5, with its original finish and sharp black Excalibur treble hooks fully intact. Designed as a rattling suspender, the lure is built to reach depths of 9.5–11.8 ft (2.9–3.6 m), making it a functional tool for both casting and trolling applications. A large, clear diving lip dominates the front profile, housing the line tie to ensure the lure stays in the strike zone longer. The intricate black crawl markings and orange-ringed eye provide high visual contrast against the warm body tones.
