Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber BOMBER FAT A B03F, 1/16oz Blue Metallic fishing lure #7826

Shimmering in a rich Blue Metallic finish, this ultralight crankbait showcases the classic deep-bodied silhouette that has defined the Bomber legacy for decades. This specific specimen, identified by product code 7826, measures a compact 1 1/4" (3cm) and weighs just 1/16oz (2g), making it a specialized tool for targeting perch and chub. The design incorporates a clear diving lip configured for reaching depths of 4–6 ft (1.2–1.8 m) while using a casting technique. Visually, the lure features striking dark vertical bars over a blue gradient that transitions into a reflective silver belly, topped off with large, high-contrast yellow eyes. As a floating model, it is engineered for shallow-water applications where precision is key. The condition of the body and hardware is exceptional, appearing very well-maintained, earning a rating of 5/5. Its American manufacturing roots are visible in the sturdy line tie and the original bronze-finished treble hooks.
