Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model 7A baby striper, 1/2oz fishing lure #14529

A wide clear plastic diving lip is the most prominent feature of this vintage Bomber Model 7A, allowing it to reach depths of 8-10 ft (2.4-3.0 m). Listed under product code 14529, this lure showcases the Baby Striper colorway, characterized by a plum-shaded upper body and dark squiggly patterns over a cream-colored belly. The bait weighs 1/2 oz (14 g) and measures 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, specifically sized for casting or trolling when targeting species like pike and walleye. This USA-made specimen from the Model A series features classic yellow eyes with large black pupils. The condition is a solid 5/5, showing a very clean exterior and well-preserved hardware. As a floating, noise-making model, it contains internal rattles meant to broadcast a signal through the water column. Two sharp treble hooks are attached with sturdy split rings.
