Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Long A15A, 1/2oz fishing lure #12865

A striking red head contrasts sharply against the silver-scaled body of this classic American-made specimen. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 4 3/4" (12 cm), this Bomber Long A15A carries the specific Product Code 12865 and features the recognizable "SUSPENDING LONG 'A'" stamp printed clearly on its side. This rattling suspender is designed for both casting and trolling, specifically reaching depths between 4-6 ft (1.2-1.8 m). The silver mesh scale pattern is complemented by a bold dark lateral line and a red-rimmed eye. All three treble hooks are original and securely attached, reflecting its well-preserved 5/5 condition. The clear, rounded diving lip remains clean and intact, fixed firmly to the nose of the lure.
