Museum Archive: Vintage Bomber Switchback BTSD6, 2/3oz fishing lure #16853

A translucent amber body sets the foundation for the Bomber Switchback BTSD6, revealing internal details through its clear plastic construction. Dark, vertical barring and a distinctive row of chartreuse dots along the lateral line create a naturalistic profile intended for deep-water casting. Weighing 2/3 oz (18 g) and measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure is engineered to reach depths between 4 ft (1.2 m) and 12 ft (3.6 m). The wide, clear diving lip features a line tie integrated directly into the plastic for stability. High-contrast red eyes with black pupils sit just behind the bill, adding a classic vintage touch. The hardware is in top form, featuring two sharp treble hooks with a dark finish. This USA-made rarity, cataloged under product code 16853, is in fantastic condition, rated 5/5, with its original finish remaining vibrant and clean across the entire body.
