Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Long A, 2/5oz fishing lure #11375

Gold and orange sides transitioning into a deep blue back define the classic XBBO color pattern of this American-made minnow. Measuring 4 3/4" (12 cm) and weighing 2/5 oz (12 g), this Bomber Long A specimen showcases the slender profile that became a staple for zander and pike anglers. This specific 11375 model is a suspender, designed to hang in the water column at casting depths of 2-3 ft (0.6 - 0.9 m) or trolling depths between 4-8 ft (1.2 - 2.4 m). Inside the translucent body, the internal rattling chambers are visible, which provide a specific acoustic profile during the retrieve. Three sharp treble hooks are mounted via sturdy split rings, reflecting the durable construction typical of Bomber's USA manufacturing era. The yellow eyes with large black pupils provide a high-contrast focal point against the shimmering gold flanks. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining its original factory finish and clear plastic hardware.
