Museum Archive: Vintage Heddon Excalibur SPIT'N IMAGE, 1/3oz fishing lure #8055

A signature script of "Bill Dance" runs across the silver-scaled side of this Heddon classic, marking its place in the Excalibur series. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the lure showcases a realistic baitfish profile with a deep green back and a textured silver mesh pattern on the flanks. A soft blue accent under the chin complements the golden eyes and the cream-colored belly. Designed as a rattling surface lure, it is capable of reaching depths of 1.6 ft (0.5 m) during a retrieve. This particular specimen, bearing product code 8055, remains in excellent 5/5 condition. Made in the USA, the body is equipped with two sharp treble hooks to ensure effective hooksets. The internal rattle chambers provide a specific acoustic presence while the lure is worked across the water.
