Museum Archive: Vintage XCalibur Excalibur Spit'n Image signature Bill Dance, 1/3oz fishing lure #18282

Weighing in at 1/3oz (10g), this surface lure features a distinct blue back that transitions into silver-scaled sides and a clean white belly. This specific specimen carries the signature of legend Bill Dance alongside the 'Spit'n Image' branding on its side. For collectors of the XCalibur line, the Product Code 18282 identifies this particular 3" (7.5cm) model. The design includes a striking yellow eye and a playful red 'smile' mark near the front, which sets the character for this topwater bait. Being a floating, rattling lure, it is designed specifically for surface presentation. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks mounted on a body that appears in excellent condition, rated 5/5. This USA-origin lure includes a small black spot near the gills, adding to the baitfish profile favored by XCalibur during this era.
