Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber B04A UV, 1/4oz fishing lure #11853

Scales in a dark honeycombed pattern transition into a bright chartreuse flank on this 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) crankbait. Identified by the classic Model "A" stamp and Product Code 11853, this specific Bomber B04A UV specimen features a specialized finish designed to glow under ultraviolet light. Weighing in at 1/4 oz (8 g), the body is punctuated by a distinct red slash near the head and a vibrant red eye. The clear diving lip is engineered to reach depths between 3 ft and 7 ft (0.9–2.1 m), making it a versatile choice for both casting and trolling setups. This lure is in excellent condition, rated 5/5, with its original bronze-colored treble hooks securely attached. Its luminous properties are particularly useful when targeting pike or walleye in stained water or during low-light periods.
