    There are a few listed for sale on eBay, check there to get an idea of their worth.

    I laugh looking back now at when all of the Excalibur baits went on sale for dirt cheap when the were going under. I bought a ton of baits because they were cheap. If I had only known I would have filled a shopping cart full. Rayburn red is not real popular here in NH. I could have filled 2 shopping carts with those babies..

    Like said above check ebay. I'm sure there is some worth but it will be finding the right person who wants that bait..

    I still have a number of Excalibur’s Bill Dance topwaters and squarebills...they were my introduction to what a crankbait is. I love those things but all of mine are cracked or beat up. I wish I could find some at a reasonable price. I even have the Mark Sosin Topwaters that I changed the hardware for freshwater use...just like the colors.

    I used to have a topwater and small crank tied on for every lake in Florida and they even won me some money when I was a 20 something tourney fisherman.

    I remember when Normark bought Storm and the local tackle shop had one side of an entire isle full of old Wiggle Warts that they were clearing out. I didn’t buy any!

    Same here. Hell, I think even Wal Mart had a bunch for something like $1. I fished them quite a bit but always hated the cheap bronze hooks on them and figured new ownership might "fix" them. If only I knew then what I know now, both about how easy changing hooks can be with the right split ring pliers, and of course how valuable those baits would become!
