Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Model 7A screw tail, 1/2oz bass fishing lure #23844

Weighted at 1/2 oz (14 g), this 2 3/4" (7 cm) Bomber Model 7A is a staple for targeting fish in the 8 - 10 ft (2.4 - 3.0 m) range. The bass color pattern on this specimen features a distinct honeycomb mesh on the olive-green back, giving way to a creamy belly with a subtle orange throat. Those characteristic red eyes set against the darker head provide a focal point common in these classic USA-made lures. Identified by product code 23844, this noise-making crankbait is intended for both casting and trolling scenarios where reaching mid-depth structure is key. Rated at 4/5, the lure shows light signs of use that speak to its history without compromising the integrity of its finish or original hardware. The long, clear diving lip remains firmly attached, leading the way for the belly and tail trebles.
