Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Excalibur Spit'n Image, 1/2oz fishing lure #6520

A detailed scale pattern flows across the 3 1/4" (8cm) frame of this topwater classic, featuring a rich blue back that tapers into silvery-white sides. The autograph of Bill Dance is prominently displayed alongside a distinctive black shad spot, identifying this as a signature series piece. Tipping the scales at 1/2oz (13g), the lure carries the product code 6520 and is armed with two robust, dark-finished treble hooks. Produced by Heddon under the Excalibur line, the construction includes an internal rattling mechanism for auditory presence. While primarily used for surface techniques, it is rated for depths up to 1.6ft (0.5m). The 5/5 condition rating is reflected in the crispness of the "Excalibur SPIT'N IMAGE" branding along the shoulder and the clean finish of the body. A large, realistic eye with a golden iris provides a focal point near the front line tie.
