Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Smilin Minnow, 1/2oz fishing lure #14999

A distinctive off-white cream finish coats the body of this Bomber Smilin Minnow, identifiable by Product Code 14999. At 2 3/4" (7cm) in length and weighing 1/2oz (14g), it is a substantial crankbait from the iconic USA-based manufacturer. The oversized red eyes are a hallmark of this model, providing a strong visual contrast against the pale body. Its translucent, amber-tinted diving lip is integrated into the head, specifically crafted for casting. The 5/5 condition rating reflects the high quality of the paint and the integrity of the original hardware. Two strong treble hooks are secured by heavy-duty split rings to the belly and tail.
