Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model 7A baby striper, 1/3oz Green Tiger fishing lure #8504

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (9g), this specialized crankbait features a striking Green Tiger pattern that truly comes alive under specific lighting conditions. This 2 1/4" (5.5cm) specimen belongs to the renowned Model A series, specifically the 7A size designed for reaching depths between 8-10 ft (2.4 - 3.0 m). The Baby Striper designation is highlighted by its fluorescent, UV-reactive finish, which glows intensely in low-light or deep-water scenarios to catch the eye of predators like pike and walleye. Made in the USA, the lure is equipped with original dark-finish treble hooks and a clear, sturdy diving bill integrated into the nose. The paint job transitions from a deep green on the back down through a bright yellow midsection to a subtle orange-tinted underbelly, all overlaid with bold, black tiger markings. Bearing product code 8504, the lure remains in unused condition, showing the factory-fresh quality of its red-and-black painted eyes and clean hardware. Whether used for casting or trolling, the 7A's design is a classic example of Bomber’s commitment to high-visibility finishes.
