Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Slab Spoon, 1 1/3oz Pearl fishing spoon #6867

Pearl finishes like the one found on this 1 1/3 oz (40g) jig were engineered to catch light and mimic shad while reaching deep structures quickly. Measuring 2" (5cm) in length, this Bomber Slab Spoon (product code 6867) showcases the heavy-bodied design characteristic of vintage American vertical lures. The painted eye, featuring a distinct orange ring around a black pupil, adds a point of focus at the head. On this specific specimen, the paint shows some honest age with visible chips at the line tie and near the hook attachment, earning it a 4/5 condition rating. It comes equipped with a large, robust treble hook and a strong split ring, typical of Bomber’s durable manufacturing in the USA. The thick lead-alloy body is intended for vertical jigging or long-distance casting into heavy winds.
