Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model 7A baby striper, 1/2oz Baby Bass fishing lure #13694

Tipping the scales at 1/2 oz (14 g), this vintage Bomber Model 7A represents a classic deep-diving profile that has targeted walleye and pike for generations. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the specimen is finished in a detailed Baby Bass color scheme, featuring a prominent scale pattern on the back and characteristic dark blotches over a pale side. The bright orange belly and vibrant red eyes provide striking visual contrast, characteristic of Bomber's early production aesthetics. Listed under product code 13694, the lure features a sturdy clear diving lip designed to reach depths of 8-10 ft (2.4 - 3.0 m) whether deployed for casting or trolling. The internal rattle system adds an audible element to its presence in the water. Looking closely at the hardware, the treble hooks and attachment points remain in superb shape, contributing to a condition rating of 5/5. These American-made lures became favorites among anglers for their robust construction, a quality evident in the well-preserved paintwork of this particular Model A.
