Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model A baby striper Screw Tail, 2/5oz fishing lure #23880

A silver-scaled finish covers the 2 3/4" (7cm) body of this vintage crankbait, highlighting the 'Baby Striper' pattern. Features on this specimen include the earlier screw-tail design, where the rear hook is mounted via a screw-eye rather than the later molded-in styles. Tipping the scales at 2/5 oz (12 g), the lure is built to reach working depths of 8-10 ft (2.4 - 3.0 m) for both casting and trolling applications. Its aesthetic is defined by a bright red gill slash, a single black forehead spot, and vibrant orange eyes that stand out against the silver-white base. The clear diving lip is firmly intact, ready to guide the lure to its designated depth. Regarding its state, there is some visible paint wear on the side panels from past use, yet the lure remains in very clean and presentable shape. We've rated this piece a 4/5 for condition, reflecting its authentic vintage charm and solid hardware. Product code 23880.
