Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model 6A, 2/5oz fishing lure #13022

Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (11.34 g), this Bomber Model A 6A features a bold red and orange finish accented by distinct black crawling patterns along its back and sides. Measuring 2" (5.08 cm) in length, the lure utilizes a clear diving bill to achieve depths of 6 - 8 ft (1.8 - 2.4 m) while casting or trolling. This specific specimen carries the product code 13022 and hails from the brand's American production history, known for reliable construction. The high-contrast yellow eyes sit prominently on the red head, offering a strike point for zander and pike. Internally, a rattle mechanism creates a noisy presence as the floating body moves through the water column. Held in a 5/5 condition, the specimen shows a glossy finish and clean hardware, including two belly-mounted treble hooks. The line-tie is reinforced through the lip to handle the pressures of reaching its maximum 8 ft (2.4 m) depth.
