Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model B 4A, 1/4oz Baby Bass fishing lure #13894

A distinct Baby Bass pattern defines the finish on this compact 1/4 oz (7 g) crankbait from the iconic Bomber lineup. Measuring 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) in length, this specimen carries product code 13894 and represents the classic American craftsmanship of a USA-made lure. The model B 4A features a clear diving lip configured to reach depths between 3 ft (0.9 m) and 7 ft (2.1 m), a versatile range for targeting pike and walleye whether casting toward structure or trolling open water. This specific lure is in 5/5 condition, maintaining a clean surface where the mottled green tones and dark lateral line are preserved with remarkable clarity. The hardware consists of two treble hooks mounted via sturdy split rings to the belly and tail hangers. This floating crankbait's round body profile and specific weight distribution are hallmarks of the Bomber design legacy, providing a reliable presentation for anglers seeking to mimic juvenile prey species.
