I have a half dozen of them left. They are securely locked away in a fire proof storage area at my brother's house along with my old Bagleys and Pre-Rapala Wiggle Warts.

The only way they will ever see the light of day again in my lifetime is if I ever go back to fishing where real money is on the line - no pun intended.

I just called my dad hoping he still had some and it looks like he lost his last one a few years ago. He doesn't fish all that much anymore but didn't know that it had been discontinued. He was crushed when I told him. I looked at eBay and it has bids going anywhere from $10-$15 with days still left on the auctions. He couldn't believe it!

They have them in stock. After you guys talking about them I may need to pick a few up.

Dale, I only have 2 B2'S left and they are both the diving model but great colors, silver foil/black back and TN shad.
I've heard some of the Balsa guys can convert them to a squarebill but I would imagine there's some work involved. I would think the bill angle is different as well as the shape.

Do you own any of them still?

Are these the ones you're looking for?

No, I don't see any in there.

I want to thank everyone for their input in this thread.
I went ahead and stocked up on my Norman's Fat Boys, and also added a few 6th Sense lures in 50X & 100X sizes to give them a try out.

These should keep me going for a while.

That crush 100 bluegill color is my favorite one. So many bites on it.

I just saw this posted on Facebook for the guys that like the vintage baits.
