Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Model 7A, 1/2oz fishing lure #23715

Dressed in a classic Baby Striper pattern, this deep-diving crankbait showcases a gold-flecked body with olive-green vertical markings and a bright orange belly. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) with a total length of 2 3/4" (7 cm), this Bomber Model 7A (product code 23715) is a staple for targeting pike and zander. The long, clear plastic lip is designed to drive the lure down into the 8-10 ft (2.4 - 3.0 m) range when casting or trolling. Internally, noise-making chambers provide auditory cues in deeper water. The hardware, including the treble hooks and attachment points, remains in 5/5 condition, reflecting a well-preserved piece. The red eyes add a sharp focal point at the front of the body, situated just above the reinforced line tie on the bill.
