Museum Archive: Vintage XCalibur Excalibur Spit'n Image, 1/2oz fishing lure #17128

A silver scaled body topped with a deep blue and purple gradient makes this XCalibur Spit'n Image instantly recognizable as a Bill Dance signature model. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g) and stretching 3 1/4" (8 cm), this topwater specimen carries product code 17128. The profile is expertly crafted to mimic a shad, complete with a faint pink lateral line and a distinct black spot behind the head. This particular unit remains in excellent condition at 4/5, showing only minor surface wear while maintaining its clear, oversized eyes and original hardware. As a floating, noisy surface lure, it was engineered for specific topwater techniques where sound and profile are key to attracting strikes. The signature on the side is a tribute to one of the most famous names in the sport, making it a functional piece of fishing history. Each treble hook is securely attached to the belly and tail, remaining sharp and ready for the water.
