Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Pinfish Hard Knock, 1/2oz Black fishing lure #9608

Bold orange eyes provide a sharp visual contrast against the solid Black finish of this classic sinking lure. Measuring 3" (7.5 cm) and weighing 1/2 oz (14 g), this Bomber Pinfish Hard Knock carries the product code 9608. The specimen is in excellent shape, showing a very clean surface that merits a condition rating of 5/5. It features a lipless, weighted design suitable for both casting and trolling across a variable depth range. The hardware includes two bright treble hooks and a factory-style metal snap attached to the dorsal line-tie eyelet. Historically crafted in the USA, this model was designed to target a wide variety of species including zander, pike, salmon, and trout. The sleek, streamlined body is built to sink steadily into the strike zone during the retrieve.
