Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber model B 4A screw tail, 1/4oz bass fishing lure #23828

Finished in a classic bass pattern, the surface of this Bomber Model B 4A Screw Tail features a distinctive honeycomb scale design over a pale cream belly. Weighing 1/4 oz (7 g), the compact 1 3/4" (4.5 cm) body is identified by product code 23828. This floating model is built for both casting and trolling, reaching a working depth of 3–7 ft (0.9–2.1 m) to target pike and pike perch. The 4/5 condition rating is reflected in the clean paint finish and the presence of slight surface marks common for its age, while the hardware remains intact. This USA-made specimen retains its bright red eye and the signature clear diving lip that helped establish the Bomber name in American angling history.
