Museum Archive: Vintage XCalibur Excalibur Shallow Runner Bill Dance Swim'N Image, 2/5oz fishing lure #11380

Glistening silver scale patterns define the sides of this shallow-running lure, accented by a distinct yellow pectoral fin detail and a dark shoulder spot. Bearing the Bill Dance signature on the flank, this Excalibur Shallow Runner captures a classic American shad profile in a compact 3" (7.5 cm) frame. Weighing in at 2/5 oz (11.3 g), it features the 'Bill Dance Swim'N Image' stamp clearly visible against the pearlescent finish. This specific model, product code 11380, is designed to track just under the surface at depths up to 1.6 ft (0.5 m), making it a specialized tool for working over submerged vegetation. The specimen is in excellent shape, rated at 5/5, with its original treble hooks and the clear plastic diving lip remaining crisp. A dark blue-to-brown gradient runs along the spine, transitioning into the fine scaled texture of the mid-body.
