Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model 6A , 2/5oz fishing lure #17067

Stamped clearly on the side with "MODEL 'A'", this classic Bomber crankbait shows off the heritage of one of the most successful series in angling history. The finish features a traditional silver-to-grey scale pattern on the flanks transitioning to a dark charcoal back, accented by a distinct black spot behind the eye and vivid red gill markings. Weighing 2/5 oz (11 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm), this specimen is a noisy/rattle type lure designed to reach depths of 6-8 ft (1.8 - 2.4 m). Its clear diving lip and sturdy body construction, hallmarks of American manufacturing, make it a reliable choice for targeting walleye or pike via casting and trolling. The hardware includes two original treble hooks that show light age-appropriate surface marks, earning this piece a solid 4/5 condition rating. Product code 17067 represents a classic era of Bomber production in the USA, where the focus remained on durable finishes and functional design.
