Default Pretty cool find at work. And also has anyone heard of this bait?

First of all I am a Wiggle Wart fanatic. I have had so many amazing days with this bait and won quite a bit of money in tournaments on this bait. I am certain that several if not all of these days never would have been, had I been using any other bait. Just about all of these success stories came on a post Rapala Wiggle Wart, so understand that I am not saying the new ones won't catch fish. Anyways a guy at work had a bunch of boxes of tackle that used to be his grandpas. He doesn't fish much so he brought a few boxes in to give some of guys at work some baits. As I was digging around I seen an old Wiggle Wart in an unopened box. I thought "no way". Sure enough as I moved the box around I was able to see the words "Wiggle Wart" under the bill. I offered the guy some money and he declined and said he had a bunch more if I wanted them, which I said heck yeah. Well I haven't seen anymore of them but I atleast got a pre-Rapala Wiggle Wart for free. Then I came home and luckily found a few auctions on ebay for some more pre Rapala Wiggle Warts and won a few more for a good price, with one auction being for 5 of them.

This brings me to the question part of my thread. Last night I was looking on ebay and ran across a bait that I have never heard of before. I texted Jrob and asked if he was familiar with it and he said that he hadn't heard of it either. It's called a Short Wart. Basically it looks like a shorter version of the Wiggle Wart (this bait is pre Rapala also), only it is a squarebilled crankbait. The auction was for 2 of them and the only crankbaits I like more than Wiggle Warts are squarebilled crankbaits so I figured how could I go wrong with a squarebilled version of a Wiggle Wart, so I bought them. They don't have the exact same body as a Wiggle Wart but pretty similiar, mainly they look like they are a little shorter. I am wondering if anyone knows anything about these baits? The best I can find on the internet is that Bassmaster Classic that was won by Ken Cook he was asked about a crankbait he was using. He knew it was one of the Storm crankbaits in the wart family but couldn't remember which one so he just said it was a "Short Wart". The next day Storm were making this bait under this name.
