Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Fat A B05F, 1/3oz fishing lure #17238

The bold black vertical stripes against a warm orange and yellow gradient give this Bomber Fat A B05F a classic look that remains a staple in many tackle boxes. Measuring 2" (5cm) and weighing 1/3oz (10g), this compact crankbait is engineered to reach depths of 6-8ft (1.8-2.4 m) during a retrieve. The rounded body profile, typical of the Fat A lineup, is paired with a clear diving lip and vibrant red eyes positioned on the upper portion of the head. Its lower section transitions into a pale, creamy white, providing a subtle contrast from beneath. This specimen, identified by product code 17238, is in 5/5 condition, showing off a beautifully preserved finish and original treble hooks. Anglers often turn to this floating model for casting techniques when specifically targeting species like perch or chub.
