Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Deep Long A screw tail, 3/8oz fishing lure #19449

Silver scales and horizontal black striping define the classic finish of this American-made deep diver. Weighing 3/8 oz (10.5 g), this Bomber Deep Long A (19449) utilizes a sturdy molded-in lip to reach depths of 10–12 ft (3.0–3.6 m) when cranking or 15–20 ft (4.5–6.0 m) on the troll. The 3 1/2" (9 cm) body includes a screw-eye tail attachment, a specific structural detail that collectors look for in early USA-made variants. Its silver-sided pattern is accented by a bold red eye and original treble hooks. This specimen is well-preserved, showing a 4/5 condition with a clear, intact bill and vibrant paint. Historically favored for walleye and pike, the lure’s construction is built for durability during deep-water retrieves.
