Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Long A, 2/5oz XBBO fishing lure #11212

Dressed in the XBBO color scheme, this 12 cm (4 3/4") minnow features a distinct bass-like pattern on its flanks and a dark, contrasting back. The build includes three sharp treble hooks spaced along the belly to ensure solid hooksets when targeting pike or walleye. Designed as a suspending lure, it operates at depths of 2ft–3ft (0.6–0.9 m) when cast or reaches deeper into the 4ft–8ft (1.2–2.4 m) range while trolling. Originating from the USA, Bomber built this model with an internal rattle chamber that provides a steady auditory signal. Bold red eyes provide a striking focal point against the lifelike scales and molded fin detailing. This specimen, identified by product code 11212, is in 5/5 condition with a clear lip and vibrant finish. Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (12 g), the body weight allows for controlled presentation in a variety of water conditions.
