I was doing some sorting out and found a Norman lure  - flat broke from 2016. Most places say out of stock and Tackle warehouse doesn't carry them. This is a red ear color. Has anyone used this lure regardless of color and if, should I take it out of its package. There had to be a reason I bought it.

They're a good bait and that is one of my favorite colors they make. It's a mass produced plastic bait, so I wouldn't worry about saving it for collectors or anything.
