Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Long A, 1/3oz fishing lure #15169

Silver scales and a bold red head define the striking appearance of this vintage Bomber Long A, a staple in many tackle boxes. Measuring 3 1/2" (9 cm) and weighing in at 1/3 oz (9.5 g), this particular specimen, identified by product code 15169, showcases the quality expected from a lure made in the USA. The clear diving lip is firmly attached, designed for casting or trolling applications in various water conditions.

Rated at 5/5, the lure shows an exceptionally well-preserved exterior finish with vibrant colors and completely intact detailing.
