Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Slab Spoon, 1 1/4oz Yellow / Black fishing spoon #1965

Tipping the scales at a substantial 1 1/4 oz (35g), this compact metal jig is engineered for reaching deep structures quickly. Measuring 2" (5cm) in length, this Bomber Slab Spoon features a high-visibility Yellow / Black polka-dot pattern that remains a favorite for vertical jigging and long-distance casting. The teardrop-shaped body is accented by a prominent red eye with a black pupil, a classic detail from its USA-based manufacturing heritage. Identified by product code 1965, the lure is in 4/5 condition, showing a well-preserved finish and clean hardware. The dense lead-alloy construction provides the weight needed to maintain contact with the bottom in heavy currents or deep lakes. A sturdy treble hook is secured to the tail, paired with a reliable line tie at the nose for a secure connection.
