Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Pinfish Hard Knock, 1/2oz Tiger fishing lure #16216

Tiger patterns dominate the profile of this American-made lipless crank, featuring bold vertical black stripes over a chartreuse-to-yellow gradient. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g) with a length of 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the Bomber Pinfish Hard Knock (code 16216) is designed for variable depths when casting or trolling. The front section is accented with a bright orange chin and a distinct red-and-black eye. A standout hardware feature is the rear-mounted hammered silver spinner blade, connected via a small swivel to the tail eyelet, combining the rattling body design with metallic flash. The belly is equipped with a sturdy treble hook, and the overall finish remains in great shape, reflecting a 4/5 condition rating. It is a versatile choice for anglers chasing pike, zander, perch, or trout.
