Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model 6A UV, 2/5oz Fire Tiger fishing lure #16783

A vibrant Fire Tiger finish defines this Bomber model 6A UV, a specialized crankbait produced in the USA. Weighing 2/5 oz (11 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this floating lure is engineered for reaching depths between 5.9 and 7.9 ft (1.8 - 2.4 m). The visual profile is striking, featuring a chartreuse base that transitions to a bright green back, overlaid with distinct black markings and a bright orange throat. Under UV light, as shown in the supplemental imagery, the entire body emits a strong glow, a technical detail aimed at attracting pike and walleye in low-light environments. This specimen, identified by product code 16783, is in 5/5 condition with pristine paint and original hardware. It incorporates an internal rattle chamber for auditory attraction during casting or trolling. The long, clear diving lip is firmly set, ensuring the lure tracks down to its intended depth range.
