Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Pinfish Hard Knock, 2/5oz fishing lure #10924

Weighing exactly 2/5 oz (12 g), this sinking lipless crankbait showcases a specialized semi-transparent finish that allows light to pass through its dense body. The Bomber Pinfish Hard Knock, identified by product code 10924, measures 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) and is finished with a high-contrast color scheme featuring a deep black back over translucent, cream-toned sides. A vibrant red-orange wash covers the chin and face area, framing the large red eyes with black pupils. Built for a variable diving depth, this rattling specimen is suited for both casting and trolling techniques when targeting species like pike, zander, and salmon. The hardware consists of two original treble hooks that remain in 5/5 condition. Bomber's design for the Pinfish series incorporates a distinct black spot on the upper flank, providing a classic trigger point for predatory fish.
