Vintage Bomber 200 series, 1/3oz Black fishing lure #9189

Measuring 1/3oz (10g), this wooden classic showcases the iconic deep-diving profile that defined the Bomber Bait Company’s early years in the USA. This specific Bomber 200 series specimen, identified by product code 9189, hails from the era when these lures were crafted from wood between 1949 and 1970. The solid Black finish is accented by large, high-contrast orange eyes that provide a distinct focal point on the body. Designed to reach depths of up to 6.5ft (2 m), the lure features the signature metal diving lip secured to the front. This example is presented in 3/5 condition, displaying a visible crack near the lip and notable paint loss on the sides where the underlying material is exposed. The hardware setup consists of two treble hooks mounted via screw-eyes, intended for pursuing pike, perch, and asp.
