Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model A Screw Tail, 2/5oz Baby Bass fishing lure #14530

Baby Bass patterning, featuring a subtle scale mesh on the back and a dark, broken lateral line, defines the aesthetic of this early Bomber Model A Screw Tail. Representing a piece of American angling history from the USA, this specimen showcases the distinctive screwed-in rear treble hook characteristic of the brand's earlier production runs. Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the lure is built for both casting and trolling setups. Its clear diving lip is designed to reach depths of 8-10 ft (2.4-3.0 m), making it a practical choice for targeting pike and walleye. The internal noise-making rattle adds a sonic dimension to its presence in the water. This specific example remains in excellent condition, rated at 5/5, with its bold red eyes and crisp paint detail preserved. The product code 14530 identifies it as a significant variant within the Model A series, prized by collectors who track the evolution of Bomber hardware.
