Museum Archive: Vintage ​Bomber Long A, 2/5oz Bass fishing lure #14267

Measuring 4 3/4" (12 cm) in length, the slender profile of this American-made minnow is finished in the detailed Bass (XBBO) pattern, featuring a dark scaled back and a pale cream underbelly. This specific Bomber Long A, identified by product code 14267, includes an internal rattle system designed for targeting species like pike and walleye. The clear diving lip allows the lure to reach depths of 2-3 ft (0.6-0.9 m) when casting, while trolling depths range from 4-8 ft (1.2-2.4 m). Distinctive red-and-black eyes provide a focal point at the head, situated just above three original treble hooks. Rated at 5/5, the specimen remains in excellent condition with its high-gloss finish well-preserved. The 2/5 oz (12 g) weight provides the necessary mass for casting while maintaining the lure's intended suspending properties in the water column.
