Atom sold thousands of all 3 models. I think Red Top may still have a bunch left. Of the 3, I think you have the best shot of getting a decent price for the Reverse Atoms up top.

I have an Atom 40 in the swirl pattern that has red instead of blue swirls. As well as several blues--it was their most popular color. And with wooden Atom 40 knock-offs by Beachmaster and Lex being generally available, the value of those plastic 40s may not be that high.

I'd just rig them and use them.

MikeP,

These Atoms are not put together yet.....look closer. I have the lips to make them a swimmer or just make it a reverse.

you know, I have to be honest but they never worked that great for me. (I've always thought they looked weird too) I still have a few in a box somewhere. I figure that if they worked so great someone would still be making/selling them. IMO the bottle plug out fishes it.

They cast well and also work as reversed for trolling.
