Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber 400 series UV, 2/5oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #7946

Radiant Fire Tiger hues distinguish this 1970s-era plastic specimen, which carries the specific product code 7946. At a weight of 2/5oz (12.5g) and a length of 2 3/4" (7cm), the Bomber 400 series UV is a USA-made floating model designed to reach diving depths of 6.5ft (2m). The fluorescent body finish is engineered for high visibility, glowing intensely under UV light to catch the attention of asp, perch, and pike. This noise-making lure remains in 4/5 condition, showing well-preserved black spotting across its green-to-yellow gradient and a bright orange underbelly. Two treble hooks are attached via traditional hardware hangers, while a line tie swivel is located at the flattened, paddle-shaped tail section.
