Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model 6A , 2/5oz fishing lure #16594

Translucent sides revealing an internal ribbing pattern define the aesthetic of this Bomber Model 6A, a classic USA-made crankbait. Weighing 2/5 oz (11g) and measuring 2" (5cm) in length, this specimen features a high-visibility yellow back and a bright orange belly. Notable markings include two black dots positioned atop the head, vivid red eyes, and a sharp red gill slash. This rattling, floating lure, listed under product code 16594, is designed to reach depths between 6-8 ft (1.8-2.4 m) during casting or trolling. It remains in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved hardware and a clear, unmarred diving lip. This specific color profile is frequently selected by anglers targeting pike and zander in varied light conditions. The body construction and original bronze-finish trebles reflect the manufacturing standards of its era.
