Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Magnum Long A B17A, 1 1/2oz Pearl fishing lure #11273

Tipping the scales at 1 1/2 oz (42 g), this substantial Magnum Long A B17A is a heavy-duty favorite for deep-water and trophy anglers alike. The Pearl finish on this 7" (17.8 cm) body displays delicate hues of blue and pinkish tones, complemented by the iconic yellow eyes that many collectors recognize immediately. Made in the USA under product code 11273, the lure is designed to reach depths of 2-3 ft (0.6 - 0.9 m) when cast, or between 4-8 ft (1.2 - 2.4 m) while trolling. The hardware remains in top form, featuring original saltwater-grade treble hooks and robust split rings. This particular specimen is in exceptional condition, graded at 5/5 for its clean finish and lack of visible wear. Primary target species for this larger-profile minnow bait include striped bass, walleye, and both largemouth and smallmouth bass.
