Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model 6A , 1/3oz Silver Flash fishing lure #20971

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), this American-made Bomber Model 6A features the iconic Silver Flash finish. The compact 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body transitions from a metallic silver top to a translucent belly, highlighted by distinct red gill slashes near the head. This specific specimen, identified by product code 20971, holds a condition rating of 3/5, showing honest surface wear consistent with its age and use. Its large clear diving lip is engineered to reach depths of 6-8 ft (1.8 - 2.4 m), making it a versatile choice for pike and walleye during both casting and trolling sessions. As a floating crankbait, the design relies on its buoyancy to rise during pauses in the retrieve. The hardware includes two sets of treble hooks secured by standard split rings.
