Museum Archive: Bomber Long A, 1/3oz fishing lure #9809

Measuring exactly 3 1/2" (9cm) in length, the slender profile of this classic jerkbait remains a staple for anglers chasing everything from walleye to smallmouth bass. This specific model, product code 9809, features the XCHO color scheme—a golden-yellow body accented with dark vertical barring and a high-visibility red eye. Weighing in at 1/3oz (9.5g), the lure is designed for versatility across different water columns; it reaches depths of 2-3 ft (0.6 - 0.9 m) when casting, or deeper zones of 4-8 ft (1.2 - 2.4 m) while trolling. The vintage packaging indicates this unit was assembled in Mexico and comes equipped with Tx3 hooks. This specimen is unused and remains in its original blister pack, preserving the 2004-era Bomber Lures branding and the clear, square-cut diving lip. It is a well-maintained example of the B14A series, suitable for targeting largemouth, smallmouth, and striped bass.
