I have some wiggle warts with a recess around the line tie in the lip. The lures are marked "WIGGLE WART" on the lip and look to be new in original blue label boxes. Has anybody seen this before? Are these real wiggle warts? Anybody know when or why this was done?

Yes, real deal and some do have the recess area that you are referring to. I am not sure if it was something that wad done for a short time, a mold abmormality or what. I know I have seen them in the blue label and I think in the red label as well but not for certain...so basically, who the hell knows!

Yep, there are indeed the real deal, like Erich said. I've got a dozen or so in the tacklebox myself. Also, if you've ever seen Mike Laverty's book titled "Plug fishing for Steelhead", there are several pictured on the cover with the same recessed eyelet. My copy of the book is dated 1994, so I'm guessing they were made in that time frame or slightly earlier. I know guys who also claim these warts fish better than the non recessed.
