Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Slab Spoon, 3/4oz Yellow fishing spoon #9707

Weighing in at 3/4 oz (21 g), this heavy-bodied metal lure is a classic example of American craftsmanship from Bomber. Measuring 1 1/2" (4 cm), the Bomber Slab Spoon, product code 9707, features a vibrant yellow base color enhanced by a detailed black and red screen-printed fish pattern on its convex side. You can see the scale texture beneath the paint, which adds a level of visual detail typical of these vintage USA-made lures. The trailing treble hook comes dressed with dense yellow feathers, secured firmly with a dark maroon thread wrap. This specimen is in excellent shape, meriting a condition rating of 5/5. Designed primarily for vertical jigging or long-distance casting into schooling fish, the weight distribution allows for deep-water applications. The metal hardware shows no signs of aging, and the yellow finish remains bright and consistent across the entire body.
