Museum Archive: Bomber Long A15A, 1/2oz fishing lure #17550

A classic silver scale pattern covers the majority of this 4 3/4" (12 cm) slender body, mimicking the reflective sheen of a natural baitfish. The deep red head section offers a stark contrast to the textured silver flanks, finished with a bright yellow eye and distinct black pupil. This Bomber Long A15A, identified by product code 17550, is a suspender model designed to stay neutrally buoyant when paused. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), it is equipped with an internal rattle and three strong treble hooks for both casting and trolling applications. The clear diving lip allows the lure to reach depths of 4-6 ft (1.2-1.8 m), though it can run shallower depending on the retrieval speed. This specimen is in its original packaging and is unused, earning a condition rating of 6. As noted on the vintage carding, this piece was assembled in Mexico.
