Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model 7A baby striper, 1/3oz fishing lure #6880

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9 g), this compact lure from the Bomber Model A series is a staple for deep-water casting or trolling sessions. The 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body features a striking silver chrome finish paired with a bright orange underside, a contrast highly effective when working the 8–10 ft (2.4–3.0 m) depth range. This particular specimen, identified by product code 6880, maintains a 5/5 condition rating, showcasing a clean clear diving lip and well-preserved red-and-black eyes. Its dual treble hooks are in great shape, characteristic of the durable hardware expected from a vintage USA-made Bomber. The 'Baby Striper' profile is specifically tailored for species like walleye and pike. Every detail on this 7A model remains sharp, from the reflective sides to the distinct hook hangers, making it a reliable addition to a serious angler's tackle box.
