Museum Archive: Vintage XCalibur Excalibur Super Pop-R, 1/3oz fishing lure #10014

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the body of this specimen showcases the classic contrast of a bright red head against a textured silver-white side. This Excalibur Super Pop-R measures 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length and features a deep cupped mouth designed to push water across the surface at 0 ft (0 m) depth. The holographic film finish displays some light surface lines typical of this era, earning it a 4/5 condition rating while still providing that signature XCalibur flash. Identification for collectors is found under product code 10014. The rear treble is dressed with a mix of gold and red fibers, acting as a deliberate visual target that continues to move even when the lure is stationary. XCalibur specifically paired this ornate tail with the scaled body pattern to mimic a fleeing baitfish during casting sessions for perch or pike. The large, dark eyes are set deep into the red head, providing a clear focal point for any trailing fish.
