Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber, 1/4oz Tiger fishing lure #0897

Bold black stripes over a vibrant yellow body characterize this vintage lure in the iconic Tiger pattern. Weighing in at 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 2" (5cm), the Bomber's teardrop-shaped body was designed in Gainesville, Texas, for efficient casting and trolling applications. This particular item, identified by product code 0897, features the large orange-and-black eyes and silver-white dots common to this classic colorway. A red-orange accent under the chin provides a sharp contrast to the black head section. The metal tail fin and dual treble hooks are original and show only minor signs of age. With a condition rating of 4/5, the paint finish retains its luster and clarity across the entire body.
