Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Excalibur POP'N IMAGE X9220, 2/5oz Baby Bass fishing lure #7807

Baby Bass patterning, a classic color profile for Heddon, gives this Excalibur POP'N IMAGE X9220 a remarkably realistic look that transitions from a dark olive back to a pearlescent white belly. Measuring 3 1/4" (8.5 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (12.5 g), this surface-running popper features the Bill Dance signature prominently on its side, a detail highly regarded by collectors. The internal holographic finish is engineered to catch light from deep within the water column, even when the lure remains stationary. Attached to the rear treble is a specialized dressing of white feathers and fine red tinsel, designed to act as a secondary visual trigger for predators. Produced in the USA under product code 7807, this model X9220 is built with a deep-cupped face for topwater casting. Large, vibrant orange-rimmed eyes provide a high-contrast target near the head. This specimen is unused, appearing in pristine state with original hardware and a perfect finish.
