Stamping on the back of this 2 1/4" (5.5cm) body identifies it as a classic Bomber 6A, a reliable choice for mid-range casting and trolling. Weighted at 2/5oz (11g), the lure features the Black Pearl finish, presenting a translucent body with a dark, fine-mesh scale pattern across the top. The side of the specimen is marked with the Bill Dance signature, reflecting the high-performance design standards of the American manufacturer. Its clear diving lip is built to reach depths of 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m), making it effective for targeting species like pike or walleye. This particular lure, carrying product code 6899, is in 5/5 condition, showing well-maintained hardware and a vibrant yellow eye. The construction includes internal rattles that provide a distinct sound profile during a retrieve. As a USA-made product, it represents a significant era in crankbait development where translucency and realistic scale patterns began to merge.
