Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber RM Minnow, 1/2oz fishing lure #15333

At 4 1/4" (11 cm), the Bomber RM Minnow occupies a classic baitfish profile that has been a staple in American tackle boxes for decades. Rating this specimen a 5/5, the finish remains remarkably clean, showcasing the intricate dark barring over a subtle green-to-silver gradient. Weighing in at 1/2 oz (14 g), it provides enough mass for effective casting distance without sacrificing its slender silhouette. The hardware consists of two sharp treble hooks, one centrally located on the belly and another at the tail, secured by robust split rings. A small, clear plastic lip is integrated into the nose, specifically designed for shallow to medium-depth presentation. Manufactured in the USA, this particular model carries the product code 15333, reflecting the era of quality production Bomber is known for. The dark vertical patterns along the back transition into a reflective silver side, mimicking the natural appearance of a baitfish.
