Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model 7A baby striper, 1/2oz fishing lure #16409

Bold black "scribble" markings provide a high-contrast look against the pearlescent white body of this Bomber Model 7A Baby Striper. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), this American-made crankbait is built for depth, reaching between 8-10 ft (2.4-3.0 m) on the retrieve. The 2 3/4" (7 cm) frame features a clear, long diving lip and a signature red eye with an orange iris, complemented by a vertical orange stripe behind the head. This specimen, identified by product code 16409, is preserved in 5/5 condition, maintaining the integrity of its finish and hardware. An internal rattle provides acoustic presence to assist walleye and pike in locating the lure at its target depth. The lure is equipped with two silver-finished treble hooks attached by stainless steel split rings.
