Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Fat A B05F, 1/3oz fishing lure #16222

Vibrant chartreuse and green gradients accented by unique red squiggle markings define the finish of this Bomber Fat A B05F. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the lure features a rounded, buoyant body profile synonymous with the American-made Fat A lineage. The clear diving bill is engineered for a working depth of 6–8 ft (1.8–2.4 m), making it an effective choice for casting toward deeper structures when targeting perch or chub. This specimen, identified by product code 16222, measures 2" (5 cm) and retains a crisp exterior finish. The hardware includes two belly-mounted treble hooks that show a light, natural darkening of the metal, though they remain sharp and functional. Given the clarity of the paint and the integrity of the plastic body, the condition is a well-preserved 4.5/5. Two stainless steel split rings secure the hooks, while a third is positioned on the line tie for easy rigging.
