Weighing 1/3oz (10g), this vintage Bomber 200 series showcases the classic wooden construction used by the manufacturer between 1949 and 1970. The deep brown finish on the 2 3/4" (7cm) body is complemented by prominent orange eyes, a signature detail for this era of American tackle. Cataloged under product code 7147, this floating specimen is built to reach depths of 6.5 ft (2 m). Two treble hooks are secured to the belly with period-accurate hardware, showing a soft aging that warrants a 4/5 condition rating. Originating from the USA, the lure's design was popularized for targeting pike and perch, featuring a metal plate integrated at the rear and a robust top-mounted line-tie assembly.
