Weighing exactly 1/4oz (7g), this compact crankbait exemplifies the craftsmanship that made Bomber a household name in American lure manufacturing. This 1 3/4" (4.5cm) specimen, identified by Product Code 12519, features a translucent smoke-silver body adorned with bold black leopard spotting and subtle red gill slashes. Designed as a floating lure, it utilizes a clear, rounded diving lip to reach depths between 3-7ft (0.9-2.1m), which is a classic range for targeting active zander or pike. The visual profile is accented by distinctive red eyes with black pupils, a hallmark trait that collectors often look for in early plastic Bomber models. The hardware is in 5/5 condition, featuring two sharp treble hooks and a sturdy line-tie split ring. Originally hailing from the USA, the Model B series like this one helped define the modern shallow-to-medium diving crankbait category through its durable molded construction.
