Vintage Bomber Speed Shad, 2/5oz fishing lure #14403

Weighing in at 2/5 oz (12 g), this vintage floating lure is a quintessential example of the craftsmanship found in the Bomber Speed Shad line. Measuring 3 1/4" (8 cm) in length, this specimen carries the product code 14403 and displays the characteristic flat-sided body designed for specific depth control. The finish consists of a white-to-silver gradient featuring a fine mesh scale pattern, which gives way to a solid black head section. Notable visual accents include a single black dot positioned on the upper side and prominent yellow eyes with dark pupils. The white diving lip is securely integrated into the nose, a hallmark of the manufacturer's construction methods during this era. This particular lure is in 4/5 condition, showing well-maintained surfaces and original treble hook hardware that collectors often look for in American-made tackle.
