Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Shallow A, 1/3oz Foxy Shad fishing lure #15359

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), the Bomber Shallow A is a compact 2-inch (5 cm) crankbait designed specifically for working near the surface. The 'BOMBER SFS' stamp on the side indicates its shallow-running pedigree, a design hallmark Bomber developed to target fish in heavy cover or shallow structure. This specimen features the Foxy Shad color pattern, characterized by a shimmering silver-white belly, a subtle yellow lateral stripe, and a distinctive black dot near the gill area. A fine grey honeycomb scale pattern covers the back, adding realistic texture that mimics common forage. The lure is equipped with a clear, short diving lip that allows it to reach depths of approximately 0-3 ft (0-0.9 m). This American-made lure, carrying product code 15359, is in superb condition, rated 5/5. Both bronze-finished treble hooks are original and sharp, and the yellow-and-black eyes remain bright and clear.
