Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model 7A baby striper, 1/2oz fishing lure #14487

A chartreuse-to-green gradient defines the classic finish on this vintage Bomber Model A, a staple for mid-depth exploration. Weighing 1/2 oz (14 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure features a distinctive honeycomb scale pattern stenciled over a neon yellow body that transitions into a subtle orange belly. This specific specimen, cataloged under product code 14487, is a noise-type lure containing internal rattles designed to provide an audible presence when casting or trolling for walleye and northern pike. The large, clear polycarbonate diving lip allows the lure to reach depths of 8-10 ft (2.4 - 3.0 m). Both original dark-finished treble hooks are intact, showing the robust hardware quality typical of USA-made Bomber products. Its condition is rated at 5/5, exhibiting a very clean exterior with vibrant pigments and red eyes that remain sharp and clear. This 7A model is weighted for efficient casting, making it a versatile tool for various water conditions.
