    Sounds like you have the first models after the Rapala takeover around 2001. Good thing is they are A LOT CHEAPER than their Pre-Rapala brothers. Bad thing is they were only produced for a couple of years so not as many of them around. Ebay is your best bet.

    Looks about right, does it say storm on the underside of the bill? Looks like it’s run some water for you

    Well fellas, after a little eBay shopping and your pointers I finally found a couple new in box... even one in the exact color I had. Here’s what I learned,
    -They are the production period that is “in between” the old and the new
    -they come in a yellow cardboard box
    - The exact one I was searching for was an odd size because it’s technically a “deep wart”... not a mag wart or a wiggle wart
    I can’t thank you all enough for the help, that’s an answer to a many year search

    oh and by the way....if anyone comes across the “deep warts” or “mid warts” in this vintage pm me, I’m interested!!!

    You said it's a deep wart. Would it say on the box "Swimming Depth 7'-12' or 13' -18'"?

    That’s the box for the right vintage but it says “deep wart” instead of “Wiggle Wart” and the depth is actually 8’-13’ just slightly different Bill then the regular. I’ve only found two so far....
