Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model 7A baby striper UV, 1/2oz fishing lure #18073

Diving effectively between 8 and 10 feet (2.4 - 3.0 m), the large clear lip on this crankbait is designed for reaching deep-water structure. This Bomber Model 7A, identified by product code 18073, carries a 1/2 oz (14g) weight and a length of 2 3/4 inches (7cm). The 'Baby Striper UV' color scheme features a bright neon green and chartreuse base with bold, irregular black spots and a high-contrast orange eye. In low-visibility situations, the UV-reactive finish illuminates with a brilliant green glow, providing a distinct visual profile for pike and walleye. Constructed as a floating, rattling lure, it is well-suited for both casting and trolling applications. The specimen is in 5/5 condition, retaining its original finish and structural integrity. The hardware utilizes screw-eye hangers for the two treble hooks, consistent with the classic Model A build.
